Eyecare you can trust

Looking after your eyes is about more than checking your prescription. Regular eye examinations help us monitor your vision, assess your eye health and identify potential concerns as early as possible.

We welcome both NHS and private patients and take the time to explain everything clearly, helping you make informed decisions about your eye care.

Our practices are equipped with advanced technology, including OCT eye scans and virtual reality visual field testing, allowing us to provide detailed assessments and greater peace of mind.

Caring for local families

We are proud to be a family-friendly practice where patients of all ages feel comfortable and supported.

Children's eyecare is an important part of what we do, and many local families trust us with their children's vision from an early age.

We provide comprehensive children's eye examinations, expert advice to help slow the progression of short-sightedness and ongoing support as your child's eyes develop. Our welcoming team takes the time to ensure every child has a positive experience during their visit.

Great customer service, I didn’t have an appointment booked however they still managed to fit me in.

Everyone there was nice and friendly, even their other customers. Everything was explained to me during the eye check and I received help in choosing a frame that suited me. Great and personal customer service like that just makes you feel good about spending your money there.

I decided to give Globe Opticians a try after being quoted a price beyond my budget in another shop, and I'm so glad I found them. No complicated promotions, no expensive glasses, just good friendly staff, a large selection of spectacles and very competitive prices. I managed to find not just one, but a few frames I like in less than 10 minutes, and best of all, the price including the glasses (despite my high presription) is much cheaper than an equivalent pair at the other opticians. Amazing place, highly recommended.

I just love this place! A friend recommended me to try them out (she’s been going for about 11 years!) then I read the reviews and thought why not.
You really get the star treatment. Great customer service & selection of frames at affordable price, I wish I had found them sooner. Thanks guys for all your help!!

Globe is one of the best opticians I have been. Customer service is outstanding, and they have a great selection of frames. I highly recommend it if you want to get your eye tested; you won't be disappointed.

Globe Opticians went out of their way to help me - visiting London from Australia and short on daily lenses, Adam arranged trial pairs for me given they were different to my usual brand. He called me out of hours and delivered lenses from one branch to another in less than 24 hours, making collection more convenient for me based on where I was working. Yogi too was super friendly and helpful. Highly recommend these guys!
