Essilor are world famous for the Varilux lens, the world’s first varifocal, which was invented in 1959. They use cutting edge technology to produce some of the highest quality and most advance lenses on the market. With a 25% market share, Essilor is the world leader in ophthalmic products with operations in Europe, Asia and North & South America.

It is also true that modern lenses and spectacles come in vast ranges from cheap, low quality frames and lenses to high quality, precision lenses. Generally ‘you get what you pay for’ is true for glasses. Better quality lenses give sharper vision, look nicer and are easier to adjust to, use and keep clean. There are lenses to suit virtually every visual situation and a good dispensing assistant will be able to make sure you get what you need and make it affordable within your budget. We can even source a special pair of frames from our extensive range of suppliers so if you don’t see anything you like, ask to see our catalogues! We do also offer a more affordable range of prescription spectacles and sunglasses working with our suppliers and laboratory to offer you the best prices we can without sacrificing our quality standards. We also offer an NHS range of spectacles which is completely covered by your NHS voucher if you are entitled to help with costs of your glasses.
