We want to shout our testimonials proudly.

Here is what our valued customers have to say.......

Working within the Hospital Eye Service, the challenge of “well fitting’ spectacles are
constant. I have been in hospital practice for 18years and 32 years in optics overall. I
work within a small team of qualified members who all have a wealth of expertise in
this field.
As qualified Dispensing Opticians we have the protected category of paediatric
dispensing services.
Our patients who range from 6 months of age to approximately 8years can provide a
diverse selection of styles to be kept in stock.
As HES we also encounter children with additional needs which can provide a
plethora of disabilities and challenges for the spectacle wearer and to us providing
dispensing services.
Our young paediatric patients are not mini adults when considering facial
anthropology and historically, a lot of ‘children’s frames are scaled down versions of
adult styles.
We have had a breakthrough over the last few years with manufacturers realising
this and thinking about the facial parameters of our little ones.
We have had the pleasure of working with Exeter Eyewear over the last few years
and having an input into what changes are needed. This not only includes the
changes that happen with bridge development, but also Vertex distance
requirements, length to bend and crest heights. We have also discussed sides
verses straps and values of ‘A and B’ measurements.
A few weeks ago, we had a training session with Rob Barrow from Exeter Eyewear,
and we are now delighted to stock the iPlay and SEEcreatures ranges. Both
ranges have been overwhelmingly successful. Taking into consideration the above
concerns, both ranges of frames fit our patient’s so well and enable us to provide lots
of choice.
Both ranges are inspiring with multiple eye sizes and side lengths, a variety of colour
options and an environmentally friendly box.
Our parents are impressed with the quality and choice of these frames and as the
company invest in their quality, provide replacement frames for the life of the
prescription at a reduced rate of 50% cost, this is a bonus for our families.
I can recommend the practicality, affordability and customer service of the frames
and Exeter Eyewear.

Dispensing Optician Team at the Royal Eye Infirmary – Plymouth.

Exeter Eyewear is fast becoming a One Stop Shop for all my Paediatric and Special Needs Dispensing. For the Small Frame Supplement claims I use iPlay with adjustable curl sides, built-up bridges and straps or the new and innovative SeeCreatures with designable modular sets with full-side strap options. For the larger kids that still need pre-modified frames for a Special Facial Supplement fit I still use the larger versions or these or I move on to the Ellivron TR and CLIC ranges with pre-adjustable curl sides or sliding drop ends and a skull-fit. Don't forget they also have 3D printed additions to their frames available to incorporate hearing aids and Alice bands when kids have to wear both spectacles and hearing aids. This is a company that listens to the needs of the Paediatric and Special Needs world and creates entirely new solutions to barriers and gaps that we have in the frame market. As a specialism and passion of mine, I am so grateful to Rob and the team for supporting the modification world through innovation over the years and now giving me products I can customise myself.
