Independent Optometrists for an individual approach

Lucy Miller-White optometrists is an independent optometry practice. It is owned and run by optometrist, Lucy Miller-White. Being independent allows us to work in an individual manner, where the needs of the patient always come first. It allows us to devote as much time as necessary to each individual both inside and outside of the clinical consulting room. Appointments for eye examinations are usually thirty minutes long, although this can vary, as some patients may need longer.

We are always happy to welcome new patients to the practice, whether it is for an eye examination – to check the health of the eye, a new pair of spectacles, contact lenses, VDU assessment, to replace a lost screw or even for an adjustment of their present spectacles. The practice is registered with the DVLA, and has a specialised facility for visual field testing necessary to meet the driving requirement.
