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."
