Meet Dr Beary

Dr Beary isn’t just here because he’s cute. He’s a weighted teddy designed to help children (and even adults!) feel calmer and more comfortable during their eye examination.

Whether it’s a first eye test, a child who’s feeling anxious, or anyone who just needs something to cuddle, Dr Beary is always happy to help.

Sometimes the smallest things can make the biggest difference to a patient’s experience.

Your mascara wand is probably more dangerous to your eyes than your eyeliner.
W
A sudden bump, sneeze or pothole is all it takes to scratch your cornea.
Please skip mascara application in a moving car, replace your tube every 3 months, and if you ever have severe pain, watering and light sensitivity after a mascara mishap, get your eye checked.
You're welcome!

Baby eye colour can keep changing as pigment develops, especially during the first year of life.
So enjoy watching those little eyes grow.

Did your babies eyes change colour?

Optometry isn’t what it was 20 years ago.

We don’t just prescribe glasses. We detect disease, monitor progression, manage myopia, assess children’s visual function, and work alongside ophthalmologists and GPs to protect vision.

An eye test is healthcare.

And it’s delightful.

Glasses are a medical device. They should be prescribed because you need them, not because someone has a KPI to hit.

Patients deserve to know why they’re being recommended glasses, coatings, specialty lenses or treatment.

No patient should walk out of an eye test feeling confused, pressured or unsure.

Patient care. Every time. Before sales targets. Always.

This week’s headlines are a timely reminder that healthcare should always come before sales.

As an independent practice, we’ve never had sales KPIs for our optometrists. Never.

Every recommendation we make is based on what we genuinely believe is best for that patient. Sometimes that means glasses. Sometimes it means no glasses. Sometimes it’s a referral, further testing, or simply reassurance.

We believe an eye examination is a healthcare appointment first and foremost. That’s always been our philosophy, and it always will be.

Patient care has never been a target. It’s the reason we’re here.

One stye? Annoying.
A stye every few months? That's a pattern.
If they keep coming back, there's often an underlying reason.
Treat the cause, not the symptom.
