Why Choose Our Independent Opticians And Audiologists?
At the heart of every British high street, you’ll find special establishments that generations of families have entrusted with their well-being. At Harrold Opticians, we've had the privilege of serving our communities with outstanding eye and hearing care since Sidney Harrold opened our first practice in 1932.
We're proud of the relationships we build with our patients:
What sets independent opticians apart, though? It's the freedom to dedicate proper time to each and every one of you, ensuring every aspect of your eyecare and hearing health is addressed thoroughly. When you see our experienced independent opticians and audiologists, they’ll focus on giving you a level of care that’s as individual as you are.
Cutting edge technology
Modern healthcare is all about detecting and monitoring potential issues early which is why we have invested in the latest diagnostic technology such as OCT.
Our advanced OCT scan provides highly detailed 3D cross-sectional images of your eyes, allowing us to spot even the smallest changes and pinpoint their exact location earlier than a routine eye test alone could.
For children, we offer specialist myopia (short-sightedness) management programmes, including innovative contact lens options from MiSight and Mylo, which have the potential to slow down the progression of short-sightedness.
A carefully curated eyewear collection
Choosing a new pair of glasses should be a delightful experience. Our carefully curated eyewear collection features distinctive designs from first-class independent manufacturers alongside beloved classic brands such as Ray-Ban, Ted Baker, and Joules. Each frame is hand-picked for its quality, style, and comfort, so you'll find something in the collection that perfectly matches your personality and lifestyle.
Our trained staff can provide personalised frame styling consultations to take the hard work off your shoulders and look at your facial features, hair and skin colour, and preferences to narrow down your options so you walk away with your dream pair.
Audiology services
Your hearing deserves the same care as your vision. Our qualified audiologists offer comprehensive services, whether you want to book a hearing test for free, a more detailed hearing assessment, or get professional earwax removal.
When it comes to hearing aids, we understand that it is a highly significant and personal decision. That’s why we offer different types from renowned brands and a free trial period so you can make sure they work for you and your daily routine before committing.
Everything under one roof
With opticians and audiologists under one roof, your healthcare becomes more convenient. More importantly, we’re able to develop a deeper understanding of your eyecare and hearing needs. Our team takes pride in remembering the little details – whether it's your preference for appointment times or your favourite frame styles.
We believe in building lasting connections with our patients, watching families grow, and being there for every stage of their eye and hearing care journey. As independent opticians, we can adapt our services to meet your specific needs, providing solutions that work for you rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach.
Ready to experience truly personal care? Pop into your nearest branch or contact us for a friendly chat to book your child’s eye test, or yours, and for any other eye or ear-related queries you may have. We're looking forward to welcoming you into the Harrold Opticians family!
