n TURNER'S VISION 100 blogs strong

Well, here we are, our 100th blog for the Voice!

If I’m honest, I never imagined I’d still be writing into 3 figures, or that what I’d have to say could run to 50,000 or so words. But the world of optometry is ever-changing so there is always plenty to talk about.

“How can we help you?”

In every town you will always find a number of opticians vying for your business so it can be easy to assume they are all much of a muchness when it comes to deciding who you are going to trust to care for your eye health.

So, for this blog, I thought I’d try to offer some clarity here for you by referring again to my favourite question, ‘How can we help you?’ which is really the best way to understand the different levels of service available. It’s also the question that epitomises the ethos of our Optometry Practice. We’re here to help all of you who choose to book to see us.

So what do we offer that’s different?

We give you time

You should never feel that you have to rush an explanation or that your optician isn’t really interested in what you have to say. At Turners Opticians we value giving you the time to explain any concerns you may have about your eyes and vision. We also give you the time it takes to explain our findings and what they mean to you.

We’re investing in your eye health

In recent years, we’ve been upgrading our sophisticated equipment, to ensure we’re even better placed to continue developing the eye care services you can receive when you visit Turners Opticians. We firmly believe in preventative health care, and deliver this for you through first-class eye care.

Most recently we’ve added Eye-Light, which is a truly revolutionary treatment for those of us who experience dry eye and meibomian gland dysfunction. It’s a comfortable, relaxing treatment that takes 5-10 minutes and can give life-changing relief from dry eye from just a few treatment sessions.

Patients' trust

One of the most frequent things patients feedback to us is that they leave feeling reassured about their eye health and vision, which really is a huge thing for us. The satisfaction of our patients does mean so much to each of our team, who genuinely care about our patients & their eyes.

At Turners Opticians, we want to help you, to see as clearly as you can, to understand your eyes & vision and to be reassured that you’ve seen an expert.
