We believe that access to quality eyecare should be a right, not a luxury. That’s why we’ve made OCT available as a standard part of eye exams. With our advanced clinical equipment and an extensive range of affordable and high-quality eyewear, we’re here to make a real difference in the lives of our customers.

Your opportunity and practice

Offering eye exams when patients need them starts with having the right team in each of our optometrist-owned and operated clinics. By joining an independent Optometry Partner and a team of passionate eyecare professionals, you’ll make a meaningful impact on eye health in the community.

• Clinical Excellence: Benefit from a fully integrated clinic with the latest diagnostic technology, including:
  • Topcon Maestro2 OCT

• Clinical Autonomy: Practice in a private, independent clinic with the support and resources of Specsavers, giving you the freedom to deliver care your way.
• Pre-test Support: Trained eyecare consultants welcome and take your patients through pre-testing so you have reports sent directly to your exam room to prepare for your consultations.
• Professional Development: Get access to a qualified optometry support consultant for professional development on-site and virtually.
