WE'RE EXPERTS IN EYE TESTS
WHY CHOOSE EYE EMPORIUM?
We're not your run-of-the-mill opticians. We've been providing industry-leading eye care for 42 years. Our family-run stores have been dedicated to serving our local communities one pair of eyes at a time.
We've grown since our humble beginnings in 1982, and we now operate 13 independent stores across London & the South East. Our mission is simple: to help you live life to the fullest through expert eye care.
Over the years, we’ve cared for over 1 million eyes, and we’re just getting started. By 2040, we aim to reach 3 million—and beyond.
We're proud of our great reputation
We think we're pretty great, but don't just take our word for it. Listen to what our patients have to say.
What to expect from your eye test
Book an eye test-
1
First, we'll do a quick check of your eye health to spot any common conditions like dry eye or glaucoma, and even catch signs of other health factors like diabetes or high blood pressure.
-
2
Next, we’ll test your sight with simple steps, like reading from the letter chart, and ask about your health and lifestyle to make sure we understand your vision needs.
-
3
Finally, we’ll share how your eyes are doing. If needed, we'll guide you in finding the perfect glasses or contact lenses for you. And of course, you can ask us plenty of questions along the way.
Upgrade your eye test with an OCT Scan
Looking for complete peace of mind? We also offer OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) scans. This quick, non-invasive scan creates a 3D image of your eye, helping us detect any issues early by measuring the layers of your retina.
-
To avoid disappointment, we always advise booking via our website or over the phone.
-
If you're eligible for an NHS eye test, it's free. And if you're booking privately, it will cost £35. If you'd like an OCT Scan, it's an additional £20. If you book an eye exam together with an OCT, it will cost £49.
-
Having your eyes tested every two years is best. We'll help you stay on top of any changes, so you can keep living life to the fullest.
-
Nope! As long as you come during opening hours, our teams will be happy to help you find the perfect pair.
-
Although we won't always have the exact frames in every store, we will stock something from all your favourite brands. Rest assured, you'll have plenty to choose from.
