Dispensing Opticians
Our qualified dispensing opticians supported by knowledgeable dispensing assistants, will help you to choose the best frames and lenses for your prescription and carry out fittings and repairs.
On-site Workshop
Our skilled technician at the workshop in our Huntingdon practice can prepare single-vision prescriptions in as little as 30 minutes. For more complex prescriptions like bifocals or varifocals, we glaze the lenses in-house based on your individual prescription. Additionally, we offer a variety of repair services that can be completed while you wait, such as fitting new nose pads or screws and re-edging existing lenses into a new frame.

What our customers say about us
"I really struggle finding glasses for my very high myopic prescription.
Then luckily I came across Gathercole & Ward Opticians.
They are amazing, friendly and very knowledgeable.
I had my lenses specially made in Japan, and I'm so happy with them! Tessa, who I saw, helped me choose frames to suit the lenses and my face.
I would highly recommend this optician, especially if you have very poor eyesight.
Thank you so, so much."
