Wessex Optical is Boots Opticians’ biggest franchise partner, with six practices across Dorset, Hampshire and Staffordshire. We personify the values and reliability of the Boots brand, paired with the greater flexibility afforded to a franchise, to allow for a winning combination of innovation & great customer care.
And winning is the right word, with our founder, Zabir Ali, snatching up several awards on behalf of Wessex Optical:
With heavy investment in people & practices, Wessex Optical boasts some of the best equipped stores on the high street. The vision: to create Centres of Eyecare Excellence, with hospital grade equipment and skilled clinicians allowing for intergrated eyecare to a level impossible to find anywhere else.
On this website, you can read about our stores and the services we offer.
NHS and private sight tests are available at all of our stores. All of our stores have access to an Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) machine, putting our diagnostics on a level previously only obtainable inside a hospital clinic.
Optomap, an ultra-widefield digital retinal imaging technology, is available at our stores in Romsey and Wimborne, allowing for thorough assessment of the back of the eye. This technique allows for early detection of peripheral retinal diseases, saving sight – and potentially lives – through detection of retinal tears, detachment, and in some cases cancer.
State-of-the-art dry eye assessment and treatment are available at Lymington, Romsey and Wimborne, improving the comfort and quality of life for hundreds of patients in the Dorset/Hampshire area.
Novel dry macula degeneration treatment is available at Romsey, using light therapy to preserve sight for longer in those with dry macula degeneration, a previously untreatable eye disease significantly affecting central vision.
We stock an incredibly vast range of Boots own and designer frames – you can view our range below.
