The Edit

Eyewear selected
with an uncommon
point of view

Every frame in our collection is hand-selected — not from a catalogue, but from a considered understanding of craft, provenance, and what it means to wear something truly exceptional.

From the world's great fashion houses to independent European ateliers, we carry frames that reward attention. Each chosen because it is worth owning.

Private Eyecare

Advanced eyecare.
Unhurried.
Genuinely thorough.

Our private enhanced eye examinations go well beyond a standard sight test. Using Optical Coherence Tomography — advanced imaging technology also used in specialist hospital settings — we produce detailed cross-sectional scans of your retina, identifying changes that a private routine examination simply cannot detect.

This level of examination gives you confidence that your eye health is being assessed with genuine expertise and exceptional care.

The Practice

A standard of care built over 38 years of independence

Martin Reynolds Opticians has been independently owned and operated since 1986. We are not a chain, not a franchise, and not answerable to corporate targets. Every decision we make — from the frames we stock to the time we spend with each patient — reflects our own standards, not someone else's.

Our team is built on a shared commitment to genuine clinical excellence and exceptional personal care. The expertise within this practice — shaped by training at some of the country's leading ophthalmic institutions — is the foundation everything else rests on.
