Welcome to Cargills Optometrists.

Cargills were open throughout lockdown providing Urgent and Essential eyecare, now we open for routine eye examinations & contact lens appointments.

Cargills Optometrists have been providing eyecare and caring for eyesight since 1926. Cargills are a friendly local independent optician, we pride ourselves in providing professional eyecare to the highest standard with excellent personalised service tailored to your individual needs.

Whether you have concerns about your eyesight, want to explore the benefit of coloured overlays for your child’s reading, tempted by contact lenses, thinking about varifocals or simply just want a great frame to wear Cargills are here to help.

Covid-19 Update – July 2023

Opticians are a Healthcare Setting, and due to the time spent in close proximity you will still be asked to wear a FACE MASK (unless exempt), we will also still follow IPC guidance (Infection Prevention Control) e.g. hand sanitizer for the continued protection of patients and staff.

IN ORDER TO LIMIT THE NUMBER OF PATIENTS IN THE PRACTICE AT A GIVEN TIME WE ASK THAT YOU PHONE AHEAD TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT.

PLEASE CONTACT YOUR LOCAL PRACTICE FIRST BEFORE ATTENDING.

Thank you.
