About Us
About us
Eyes Optometry is a proudly independent and distinctive practice that specialises in bespoke style and clinical excellence. Founded in 1997, Eyes has built its brand on the provision of superior eyecare for patients looking for a clinical experience that is informed, intimate, and sophisticated.
Shamim Arbab (BSc (Hons) MCOptom) founded Eyes Optometry, drawing upon her extensive clinical experience and her belief in the importance of personal eyecare. Her goal was to establish a specialised optical and clinical practice, providing discerning clients with the best possible standard of ocular care as well as access to handcrafted, high-quality spectacle frames not available elsewhere in Scotland.
The practice maintains an extensive client base through long-term relationships forged between patients, eyewear brands, and Eyes itself.
Eyes Optometry’s reputation has been built on the consistency of its clinical care and word-of-mouth recommendations.
