Our Story
Rooted in Consett
We’re a small, independent team of local women who live right here in Consett. Our journey began with a shared vision: to bring truly personal, professional eye care to our community. Having visited all the big-name opticians over the years, we knew there had to be a better way—one that put people before sales.
Years of Experience
After years working in the optical industry, we saw the need for a practice where appointments aren’t rushed and every patient is treated as an individual, not a number. Our staff are known for being both professional and wonderfully human, putting even the most particular customers at ease.
Opening Our Doors
We opened on Middle Street to offer the kind of service we'd want for our own families: friendly, expert, and completely unhurried. From day one, our focus has been on honest advice and genuine care, not just selling frames and glasses.
Time for You
We believe in longer appointments, no pressure, and honest advice. Our goal is your eye health, not a sales target. We take the time to get things right, whether it’s a complex eye exam or helping you find the perfect frame from our second-to-none range of options.
Handpicked Frames & Bespoke Lenses
We hand-pick our collection for every style and budget, from bold shapes to understated classics, and offer lenses tailored to your lifestyle. Our customers often tell us it’s a refreshing change from the high street chains.
Proudly Serving Consett
We’re grateful for the support of our local community. In just three years, we’ve grown from no customers to hundreds—if not thousands—of satisfied clients. Whether you’re a long-time resident or visiting from across County Durham, we look forward to welcoming you into our calm and friendly practice. Pop in and speak to us; you’ll understand exactly what makes Consett Eyecare different.
