Our Optician Services
We provide a broad range of clinical and optical services from our Earlsfield practice, giving patients travelling from across the wider borough access to ongoing vision care, prescription solutions and specialist support.
Services in Wandsworth
Advanced Eye Examinations
Our advanced eye examinations assess more than your prescription. Appointments typically take 30 to 45 minutes and include OCT scanning and high-resolution retinal photography as standard, at no additional charge, alongside visual function assessment, digital refraction and detailed examination using modern clinical technology.
Prescription Glasses & Frame Styling
We provide prescription glasses alongside personalised frame styling and lens guidance. Rather than focusing only on your prescription, we consider how you work, drive, use screens and spend your day so your eyewear can suit both your visual requirements and personal style.
Contact Lens Consultations
Our contact lens service supports new and existing wearers who want comfortable, practical vision correction. A professional consultation helps determine whether contact lenses are suitable for your prescription, lifestyle and ocular health, with guidance on wear and ongoing care.
Myopia Control
Our myopia control service is designed for children and young people whose short-sightedness requires closer management. We assess individual needs and discuss appropriate options with parents, with ongoing monitoring forming an important part of the process.
Private Minor Eye Conditions Service (MECS)
Our Private Minor Eye Conditions Service (MECS) provides assessment for appropriate acute and minor eye concerns. The service is currently offered privately at £49, in line with our private sight test fee. It is not currently NHS funded or NHS commissioned at our practice.
Supporting Vision & Sensory Care
Regular examinations can help monitor changes that may develop gradually, including changes to your prescription and signs associated with conditions affecting the retina, lens or optic nerve. Our guide explains why regular eye checks matter and when arranging another assessment may be appropriate.
We are also developing two additional clinical services. Our dry eye care clinic is currently marked as coming soon and is planned to provide dedicated assessment and management for ocular surface symptoms.
Professional audiology services are also currently listed as coming soon, with the planned service being delivered in partnership with Amplify Hearing.
Local Access for Appointments
Our practice is in Earlsfield, making it a practical option for people travelling from elsewhere in the borough without presenting the business as having a second branch.
Wandsworth Town station sits on York Road, while our nearest railway station is Earlsfield on Garratt Lane. National Rail confirms that Earlsfield station has step-free access to all platforms, whereas Wandsworth Town station currently does not have step-free platform access. Patients for whom accessibility is important may therefore wish to consider this when planning their journey.

Paul B.
I have a strong prescription and came in at short notice due to none tolerance to a prescription from a large chain optician. Ali took the time to triage the issue taking time and care to adjust to my astigmatism fully. I have now resolved the none tolerance issue and have crystal clear vision. Thank you for sorting my situation and getting things
‘spot on’.
Nadia B.
Great optometrist. Excellent family run business, Ali is very thorough and they have a great selection of frames. Highly recommend. (This is actually my second review for them).
Matthew W.
Very impressed with service and knowledge. It was an absolute pleasure to be treated with such professionalism.
M Edwards
I had my prescription eye exam here today and I had a great experience. Ali was super kind, thorough, and patient. He took the time to explain everything and answer my questions. Everything was very clean and bright, and I left feeling very happy I’d chosen this optician! Thanks again!
Frequently Asked Questions

How Often Should I Have an Examination?
The appropriate interval depends on factors including age, prescription, symptoms and ocular health. Your optometrist can recommend a suitable recall period based on your individual findings. You can also read our guide to regular vision checks.
Can You Help With New Glasses?
Yes. We provide prescription eyewear and personalised frame styling, helping you consider prescription requirements, lens choices, everyday visual demands and how different frames suit you.
Can Children Attend the Practice?
Yes. We provide care for families, including myopia management for children and young people where appropriate. If you are concerned about increasing short-sightedness, our team can advise whether a dedicated myopia consultation may be suitable.
What if I Have New Symptoms?
The right appointment depends on the nature of your symptoms. Appropriate acute and minor eye concerns may be suitable for our Private Minor Eye Conditions Service (MECS), which is currently £49.
