Our philosophy at Richard Petrie is about care. Care for our community, who receive a fantastic service and have access to a wonderful array of products to suit their style. Care for our team, who work tirelessly to make the practice run smoothly, and who benefit from an array of benefits including mindfulness training, team days out and pension contribution scheme.
We are dedicated to providing high quality, advanced eyecare to all of our patients. We use advanced technology to best measure and capture retinal health and we are now providing longer appointment times with our Optometrists to allow for all of your findings to be properly interpreted and explained in the detail you need.
We do ask however, if possible that you transfer from your wheelchair into our consulting room chairs for a simpler and more accurate eye test. Parking is available immediately next to the practice in Heath Avenue - or across the road behind the petrol station. Book online or via the phone with one of our experienced specialists. All eye tests are carried out with the highway hygiene standards to keep you and our team safe.
Whether you're looking for fashion, function or a specific style, our wide array of frames for men, women and children have you covered. We stock a large selection of styles and materials for all budgets and needs. In our Littleover practice we have hundreds of frames for you to try. These include brands such as Ted Baker, Sandro, Lacoste, Nike and Maui Jim as well as DVF, Silhouette and Reykjavik. We regularly review and refresh our stock and brands, so do ask us if there is something you would like that we may not have yet.

Professional, efficient, and highly detail-oriented. While not the least expensive, the quality makes it well worth the cost.

Optometrist wanted to charge me 120 for an eye test and then tried to obfuscate this fact. 'Oh, but it's only 10 a month!' Yeah, for 12 months or you're going to charge me for the remainder.

My wife has been a Client at this Optometrist for quite a few years. I joined the practice in the past three to four years. We wold both like to commend the excellent quality of care from the Optometrists since the days of Mr Petrie, now retired, to Davina who has taken over our eye care. Thank you Mr Petrie and then Davina for the thoroughness of our eye assessments.

Thank you for investing in the highest level of Diagnostic and Ophthalmic equipment. We would also like to commend the service and care provided By Ruth, our Dispensing Optician who has taken the time to get to know us, establishing our tastes and preferences, demonstrating such knowledge, excellent interpersonal skills, giving us information about our lenses, frame options, and so on, in order for us to make informed choices.

Also thanks to Joanna in charge of Administration and Colour Matching Consultations which is so instrumental when one wears spectacles permanently in co ordination with varying outfits. My wife had a very successful consultation with Joanna who made her feel so comfortable, and relaxed, establishing successful and less successful spectrums of colour.

Very enlightening. Joannas excellent front of house interpersonal and communication skills are commendable, also with the newer Reception staff, maintaining the high standards always experienced at the practice. We are very impressed with the personalised care at this practice. The Ongoing RP4 Scheme, whereby costs of assessments, lenses and frames are partially or fully paid for via monthly payments has been invaluable, well worth it by spreading costs.

We feel so blessed to have such an excellent service and have complete confidence in the whole Care and Assessment Process which is constantly being updated. We were recently made aware that the Practice recently left the NHS with all the related limitations, (becoming a Private Practice). We have no issue with this, as the Practice will now be able to offer enhanced care, treatments, services and care.

We also took advantage of having a free initial hearing check which is a new service offered at the Practice. We are also greatly impressed by the Safety, Sanitation, Screening and Distancing Measures put in place at the Practice due to the pandemic. We cannot commend the excellence of this Optometrist Practice enough. THANK YOU. Mr and Mrs Allen.

All the staff made me feel relaxed and comfortable. The opticians took their time to explain the various procedures clearly and the results they found which fortunately, in my case, were good. It is also a very clean and 'airy' environment.

The quality of service is outstanding. The staff makes you feel relaxed and comfortable. Very professional and they really take the time to explain what they are doing and advice you on choosing your lents. I have been having spectacles since more than 20 years and I have been in difference practices over the years and surely this is one of the best I ever been perhaps the best one

I received an excellent service from all the staff from my initial telephone enquiry, through to making an appointment/s and my actual eye examinations n tests. They came highly recommended and I, personally, appreciated both their expertise and friendly welcome. I believe I paid a fair (perhaps not the cheapest) price for the most lovely frames to have made up into my prescription. I have also purchased frames/prescriptions elsewhere too. I would recommend visiting Richard Petrie Optometrist to everyone.

I have always received excellent advice and help from this fantastic opticians. The prices are very fair and there are good savings to be made by joining their scheme for regular customers. The quality of service is outstanding. They are thorough and professional giving not only good eyecare and advice but outstanding after-sales as well. They are up to date, too, having the latest equipment to be able to check for other related health issues, giving explanations for what they've found, what is needed and why. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone needing good professional service delivered in a friendly and helpful manner.
