We’re also getting ready to launch a dry eye clinic. Over the last 30 years, we’ve built a strong reputation as specialists in children’s vision, dyslexia and Colorimetry, with schools from across the county regularly referring children to us for assessments.

If you’re passionate about:

• Matching patients with frames that reflect who they are

• Working with unique, design-led eyewear you won’t find everywhere

• Being part of a team that values quality over quantity

Then we’d love to meet you.

You will also receive:

• Your birthday off work

• Free & regular CPD courses
• Access to health benefits
