Services We Can Provide You

At Rock Opticians, our genuine passion for eye health and stylish eyewear is evident from the moment you step into our practice. We provide a wide range of services to support your vision and eye health at every stage:

Comprehensive Eye Examinations
We offer both NHS and private eye examinations, each thorough and personalised to go far beyond a simple pair of glasses or contact lens prescription.  Our exams are designed to protect and preserve your eye health, using diagnostic tools that help detect early signs of conditions like glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetes. 

We believe in proactive, tailored solutions, whether through custom-fit contact lenses, specialised lens coatings, or targeted care for issues like dry eyes, digital eye strain, sports vision and Myopic Management.

Independent Prescribing
Independent Prescribing allows our optometrist to offer a comprehensive approach to assessing and treating your eye conditions.  With this qualification, our optometrist can independently diagnose, prescribe medication, and manage various eye health issues reducing the need for a separate referral to a GP or Eye casualty specialist.

This direct access to treatment enables us to address your eye health needs promptly and effectively, ensuring that your care is tailored specifically to you.  

With Independent Prescribing, you’re assured of a more streamlined, accessible, and personalised service, allowing us to manage and resolve your eye health concerns as efficiently as possible.

NHS Funded Emergency Scheme
The NHS-funded Primary Eyecare Acute Referral Scheme (PEARS) offers vital support for individuals experiencing recent-onset acute eye issues.

This scheme provides access to one NHS-funded appointment with an optometrist for eye problems that arise unexpectedly between routine eye exams. Whether it’s sudden vision changes, discomfort, or other urgent symptoms, PEARS ensures you receive timely professional care without additional costs.

This service not only brings peace of mind by providing a quick route to assessment and advice but also helps protect your eye health before your next scheduled eye examination.

Exceptional Eyewear Selection
As an independent optician, we are proud to offer a stunning selection of eyewear catering to every style and preference.  Our expert team is here to help you find the perfect fit and comfort while ensuring you achieve your desired look.  From timeless classics to modern frames, our curated collection is designed to reflect your personality and needs.

If you can't find glasses you like at your current Opticians, you are very welcome to bring in your prescription for a complimentary Frame Styling Consultation.

Personalised Aftercare
Our dedication to your eye health doesn’t stop at the purchase.  We offer ongoing aftercare to ensure you feel supported long after your visit.  Whether you need adjustments, repairs, or advice, our team is always here to help you maintain optimal comfort and vision.

What Really Makes Us Different?

At Rock Opticians, we believe that exceptional eye care goes beyond just expertise. It’s about how we care for you as an individual.  Our expert team are driven by a commitment to heartfelt customer service, which we will bring to life through:

Listening Carefully to Your Needs
We understand that eye care is personal, and each patient comes with their own unique needs, concerns, and experiences.  That’s why we take the time to listen actively to every patient, ensuring we fully understand what you’re experiencing. Whether you’re dealing with a specific condition like glaucoma or simply want to improve your vision, we value your voice in your care journey.

Empathising with Your Concerns
At Rock Opticians, we don’t just provide a service; we empathise with the worries and frustrations that come with eye health issues.  Eye conditions can affect many aspects of daily life, from reading and working to feeling confident in social settings. Our goal is to provide comfort, reassurance, and solutions that address not only your medical needs but also your peace of mind.

Sharing Our Wealth of Knowledge
With over 40 years of experience, our Optometrist and Optical assistant have a depth of expertise across various eye conditions, including complex cases like glaucoma and macular degeneration. But knowledge is only valuable when shared.  We take the time to explain our findings, outline treatment options, and educate you about preventive care.  We want you to leave each appointment with confidence, knowing exactly how to care for your eyes.

Going Above and Beyond with Service
Delivering the best possible service means delighting our patients in every interaction, from scheduling appointments to receiving specialized treatment. We aim to provide a seamless experience that reflects our dedication to quality and care. Our commitment to going the extra mile is what transforms each visit to Rock Opticians into a warm, welcoming experience that patients can trust and look forward to.
