At Rawlings we pride ourselves on a level of service that is second to none. From your eye examination with the
Optometrist you choose, to a detailed glasses consultation with qualified Dispensing Opticians. Our Optometrists and Dispensing Opticians all regularly participate in continued education and training to ensure their knowledge is up to date. This ensures that every patient gets all the time they need for a thorough examination and all the help they need to get the perfect glasses.
Rawlings are ‘independent’ opticians, giving all our staff freedom of choice of frames and lenses from multiple manufacturers – they aren’t restricted to just one or two suppliers. This allows them to find the perfect final result in terms of vision, comfort and style for you. This ethos of independence has stood us in good stead for over 130 years in business.
We even still have several members of the Rawling family working in the company. After 4 generations, is something we are truly proud of.
Choosing your glasses shouldn’t just be about frames—it should be about care, choice, and confidence that lasts. Here’s what makes Rawlings different:
As proud independents, we’re not tied to any single brand—so you get access to hundreds of frame styles (up to 1,000 in some branches) and lenses sourced from all around the globe, not just the mainstream brands
All our Optometrists and Dispensing Opticians are highly trained, regularly update their skills, and take all the time you need. You won’t feel rushed—or sold to
Many of our team have been with us for years; you’ll often see the same faces at every appointment. That means we get to know you—your eyes, your style, your vision goals—so every pair of glasses is truly bespoke
From quirky boutique frames spotted at European shows, to allergy- and size-inclusive ranges, we cater to every taste and need. And our smart styling mirrors let you preview how frames look on you—even if you have a strong prescription—to help you make the perfect choice
We offer a price match guarantee—if you find an identical pair of glasses cheaper within 5 miles, we’ll refund the difference (proof required). Every pair also comes with a two-year guarantee against manufacturing defects
Your glasses deserve care—not a one-time sale. That’s why we offer free unlimited servicing, adjustments, and cleaning throughout their life—no appointment needed, no charge
We stock advanced lens options like Hoya’s WorkStyle for computer use, Sensity photochromics that change seamlessly from indoors to outdoors, and specialist sports eyewear (golf, cycling, fishing)—all with expert lens matching to your lifestyle needs
Your hearing care deserves more than just a quick sale — it deserves a relationship built on trust, expertise, and lifelong support.
Here’s what sets us apart:
We’re proudly independent, which means we’re not tied to any single manufacturer. That gives you access to the widest choice of the latest hearing technology from leading global brands — and we’ll help you find the one that’s truly right for you.
