Our onsite lab has been part of the practice in Cleveleys since it's move to Rossall Road and is situated on the 2nd floor of the building. It is an invaluable asset to the smooth operation of both practice's.

Brian, our laboratory technician,  has over 50 years experience in the optical manufacturing industry having began his career as a trainee optical worker for the Croft Optical Company in 1965. His job then was to handmake frames from perspex, a material not often found these days, which has given him the skills today to repair frames that to most people would seem destined for the bin. Brian joined the company in 1991 and is an invaluable member of the team.

Modern technology and equipment means that even the most demanding frame/lens combinations can be put together on-site. Rimless mounts can be tailor-made to exactly the right size and shape for the person wearing them and even extensive frame modifications such as fitting curl sides are all part of offering what we believe to be one of the best optical services around. Repairs such as solders and re-fitting existing lenses to new frames are also services that in the most part can be completed within an hour. We also offer the option of custom made sunglass clip-ons to fit almost any frame, again a service which can be provided within a 2 hour timescale.

Our lab carries an extensive range of standard single vision plastic lenses in stock, including scratch resistant and reflection free lenses, so simple distance or reading spectacles can also be produced if necessary within an hour; even tinted & UV treated sunspecs can be produced although this may take a few hours! We can also fit new lenses to existing frames without you having to wait for weeks without your favourite glasses. Once the lenses have arrived in our workshop, all we need is for you to leave your specs for a maximum of 2 hours for the transfer of lenses to take place.

Please note: our optical laboratory is open Monday to Friday, 9 till 12.
