We pride ourselves not only on showcasing some of the most unusual spectacles in the region, but also on the service and skill of our professional staff. By offering one of the most technologically advanced eye examinations available in optometric practice, through our EYELINE screening program, we aim to help you maintain your optimum ocular health.Find out more about the tests, including OPTOMAP RETINAL IMAGING and the OCT - a state of the art CT scan of the eye, on the EYE EXAMINATION (eyeline) tab at the top of the page.
Services
Standard eye tests are available routinely for both Private and NHS clients. Being an independent practice we have personally chosen all the frames and sunglasses that we stock. By keeping the styles new and fresh we hope to maintain your individuality as we rarely sell the same designer frame in the same colour twice, no one likes to turn up to a party in the same outfit as other people! Our range of frames start from 16, free to those with NHS exemption, even our designer frames start from just 72.
We have built our reputation on recommendations and are continually updating our knowledge, expertise and equipment so we can provide our patients with the very best service and advice. We take a pride in our practice and would invite you to call in and see for yourself! Eye examinations are an important health check that should be carried out at regular intervals.
Ortho K is a non surgical alternative to Laser treatment for myopic corrections. It enables the user to be spectacle/contact lens free during the day. Not only does it give freedom to adult wearers but it may benefit teenagers and young children by stabilising their prescription and may prevent myopic progression.
There are not many people today whose eyes are completely unsuitable for contact lenses. The range of products on the market is vast and increasing, so the likelihood of being able to find a lens that meets your individual lifestyle and prescription requirements is high. At Alexander Optometrists we will help you choose the type of contact lenses to suit you.

Always a pleasure to go Alexander's, not a chore He is very entertaining, informative (happily answers any questions), knows his stuff, and I feel my eyes are in good safe hands. The glasses I have bought have been good quality and durable and definitely an improvement when reading that pesky small print!

Your review: This is the only Optometrists I have found in this area with a 100% fully professional set of eye testing equipment. This company leaves the rest of the opticians in the dark ages. In fact after a several disastrous visits to one of the competitors not far from his establishment I can confirm this shop scores 100% plus in all areas. And leaves the competition looking like a very bad fast food store. I am now looking forward to have all my eye problems sorted by this fantastic company.

I had broken a pair of prescription sunglasses but I had an extra frame so what was left was to put the lenses in the new frame. I took the sunglasses to other shops and they were concerned that they possibly would damage the new frame while inserting the lenses. This was understandable since the sunglasses were not standard. One of the shops suggested I take them to Alexander, which I did. My glasses were repaired in less than 5 minutes and were perfect!

There is no point in going to any other opticians. Not only are Alexander and all the staff amazingly competent, helpful, friendly and amusing, they really go to incredible lengths to help customers. Unbelievably I discovered this morning that they had been delivering contact lenses and other supplies to customers in case of isolation amid the current crisis. I cannot stress how much I would recommend this business.

Absolutely brilliant service, thank you so much! I needed some glasses for a specific task and Alex was very helpful in accommodating my request. The branch staff are so friendly and know their stuff too - they've made me a fab pair of new glasses. The building is quirky, there's a well in the floor and an atrium in the roof! Would thoroughly recommend, much better service than other similar companies on the high street.

Despite this being 40 minutes from home I would never consider going anywhere else. Service is fantastic and staff are mega friendly. How many businesses will say after an examination "Prescription changed slightly and happy to sell you some new contacts but not really necessary". The really detailed tests give me confidence that Alex will spot not just optical issue but many other medical conditions.
