We work with care home managers across Coventry, Birmingham, Solihull and the wider Midlands. Rounds are scheduled annually with sooner reviews where staff observe changes.

Our optometrists are experienced with dementia, low vision and complex communication needs. Visits are unhurried and adapted to each resident.

Glasses are supplied from a frame range we bring to the home. NHS optical vouchers are accepted, and we handle CQC-relevant record keeping.

What families say about us

These are genuine comments from Google — we have not edited the wording.

  • “My mum is unfortunately now in a care home and is not mobile any longer, I contacted Randy and he was very happy to visit her at the home. He was very efficient in assessing mum and her needs, Randy had all the equipment and glasses for her to try and two weeks later he delivered the glasses as promised. Highly recommend first care optical”

  • “Provided a very helpful and educational talk at Corsers court. All residents loved it and felt all their answers about their eye health were answered in detail with recommendations and advice that will help them in the future. Great Optician.”
