The initial part of the examination will involve a careful assessment of your history and symptoms. We will then ascertain your prescription and check the health of the eye. The eye examination includes tests which can establish the presence of conditions such as Glaucoma, Cataracts and Macular Degeneration.
At Unia Opticians, we hand pick our spectacle frames, from a comprehensive choice of manufacturers. As a completely independent optician, we are known for our diverse selection of frames styles. We stock popular brands from TOM FORD to Chloe and Lindberg to Orgreen. Our choice of frame selection is made keeping quality, individuality and aesthetic appeal in mind.
We offer a comprehensive range of spectacle lenses from various manufacturers & have been accredited as a Nikon lens wear consultant. We also have the latest technology in software in Imagine-I, which allows us to demonstrate the features, and simulate the usage of spectacle lens designs currently available.
As an independent practice, at Unia Opticians, we have the freedom to fit an array of contact lenses to suit an increasing number of patients' requirements. Whether it be for leisure, sports, or where spectacles may be limiting your field of view, contact lenses can be a great alternative to glasses.

I have been coming to Uni Opticians for several years for my eye tests, frames, and aftercare. Unia Opticians is an excellent independent optician who offers a highly professional service and practical solutions for what one needs. The company's customer service is excellent, and the entire team is consistently responsive, very helpful, and a pleasure to deal with.
A special mention to thank Jo, who has recently gone above and beyond the usual high level of service to help to get my bifocal contact lenses just right. This business is the best, and come highly recommended.

I have come to this opticians a few times to sort a pair of specialist, colour-tinted glasses I bought somewhere else a while back. I have visual stress and had consistent trouble with the frame of these glasses which makes it difficult to be seen by the original optician. Jo has been really helpful ever since I came in asking for help with my glasses.
They have been accommodating and attentive, always willing to offer me help and asking for nothing in return. I cannot recommend this friendly opticians enough. They have been an immense help for me.

Apparently. 12 % of people wear glasses to see better. 88 % of people wear glasses to appear smarter. Luckily with 'Unia Opticians' one can do both - 100 % satisfaction guaranteed. I generally dislike changing doctors, opticians & hairdressers and have been exceedingly pleased with my old optician. Having said that I always thought it would be nice to have one's optician close just in case there is a problem.
With this in mind I visited Unia - doubtful they would reach the high standard of my previous optician. ***Spoiler Alert***: They can! Their shop window has a modest display but inside one finds a huge array of frames in all colours, sizes with an abundance of expertise and helpfulness provided by Milly, Michael & Jo. A beautiful Tom-Ford-frame was quickly identified and could not be trumped - irrespective how much Milly tempted me.
My 88 % inner desire to appear smarter was successfully met. Target achieved. Pugh! Now the important bit: the eye examination. Would Kinni meet my critical and high expectations? Would my questions be answered to my satisfaction? After all, too often we take good eyesight for granted and every couple of years remember to give eyes the respect and treatment they deserve.
I spent an informative time with Kinni who was polite, thorough and knowledgeable. and before I knew it the frame plus varifocal lenses was ready for collection. In case you are still reading on and I have not lost you, then you will know by now that visiting Unia is a pleasure. Helpful staff are there to make your choice difficult and give you the finest of treatment every step of the process. Needless to say, Unia is Covid-secure to make you feel safe. This should not put you off. You can still remove your face mask and try as many frames as you want.

We have been using Unia Opticians services since 2008. The whole team are so welcoming. Kinni is amazing with both children and adults. First time I took my son there, he did not want his eyes looked at, but Kinni patiently coaxed him into letting her carry out the necessary tests and now he has no problems having his eyes tested. My own needs have been professionally managed and even though we live outside London we would not want to go anywhere else. Jo is great at finding the correct frames to suit and there is never any pressure to purchase, but you do, because you know you've been given great advice and service. Thank you Unia for looking after mine and my family's requirements. Mrs Chhaya Joshi Watford

Unia Opticians offer the very best service possible from an independent supplier. I have been a customer of theirs for more years than I care to remember, and they will always go the extra mile to give excellent customer service. Kinni and Jo make a very excellent team, and as I have now moved out of the area I will miss the friendly support I have always received.

I have been coming to Unia for many years now, having previously worked nearby. This is an excellent independent optician, offering a highly professional service. I wear contact lenses, and the eyecare that Unia provide is always excellent. Their customer service is fantastic, they always go out of their way to provide help and advice. Although I now live and work outside London, for me it is still worth the effort to get into London to go to Unia, given the service they offer me.

I'm a recent convert to this excellent independent optician. Unia offer great, friendly service for examinations and choice of glasses. Getting the right lenses, size and comfortable frames is a doddle. Their latest range of Eco glasses offer magnetic sunglasses options - great for travelling - and good for the environment too.

The best service I have ever had at an opticians. Thorough eye examination and an excellent choice of frames, sunglasses and lenses. Really helpful, friendly and professional staff, offering good advice. They really helped me find the suitable frame and lens combination, even ordering some frames in for me to try. I would thoroughly recommend Jo and the Unia team.
