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.

The practice maintains an extensive client base through long-term relationships forged between patients, eyewear brands, and Eyes itself.

Eyes’ reputation has been built on the consistency of its clinical care and word of mouth recommendations.

Independent. Professional. Personal.

At Eyes Optometry, we are proud to be one of Edinburgh’s trusted independent opticians, offering expert eye care combined with personalised service. Established with a vision to provide more than just standard eye examinations, our practice focuses on delivering tailored eye health solutions alongside unique, high-quality eyewear.

You Deserve The Best

Our commitment to innovation means we use the latest diagnostic technologies, such as OCT retinal scanning, to detect early signs of eye diseases, helping protect your vision for the long term.

At Eyes Optometry, we combine clinical excellence with a genuine passion for helping you see your best.

Proudly Local & Independent

We’re proud to have been a part of Edinburgh’s New Town since 1997 — a place rich in history, culture, and architectural beauty. Our historic practice is nestled in the heart of this vibrant and elegant district, where we embrace the local spirit of community and independence.

As independent optometrists, we believe in quality and are happy to spend the extra time getting to know you, your vision needs, and your lifestyle, whether you’re visiting for a routine eye test, specialist consultation, or eyewear styling. This allows us to tailor every aspect of your care and provide honest, expert advice.
