Location

The practice is located along a narrow, historic road in central Loughborough, which has been mostly pedestrianised - so there is limited parking available at the front of the practice. Thus it is best to allow extra time with your appointment, so that you can park in one of Loughborough's designated car parks.

Disabled patients should be dropped off at the practice where the receptionists will assist you; please inform them that you will need their assistance when you book your appointment. Patients in wheelchairs are welcome and catered for. For those who are housebound, we also offer domiciliary visits.

How Long Will I be at the Practice?

Please allow at least 2 hours for your first appointment with us. During this time the following procedures may occur:

• The prescription of your current spectacles (if any) will be measured
• Your optometrist will spend at least half an hour with you
• Further diagnostic tests may be required, such as measuring the pressure within your eyes, checking the extent of your visual fields, and Optomap imaging of the back of the eyes.
• Finally, you may want to select a new frame and new lenses for new spectacles.
