The eye test here is a high-tech affair, not a dusty ordeal. They use digital retinal photography, which sounds fancy because it is—it takes a detailed picture of the back of your eye, catching issues before you even feel them. The optometrist explains everything in plain English, not in confusing medical jargon.
You’ll go through the usual “which is better, one or two?” dance, but it feels less like a test and more like a collaborative puzzle. And here’s a practical tip: book your appointment for late morning. The light is perfect for the exam, and you can grab a flat white at a nearby café right after. Pair it with a scone from a local bakery—your eyes will thank you.

Don’t be shy about asking for a blue-light filter on your lenses. If you’re like me, you spend hours doom-scrolling or working from home. Your retinas deserve a break from the digital glare, even in a town famous for parchment and quills.
Finding Your Frame (And Your Vibe)
Choosing glasses is a personality reveal. The staff here treat it like a delightful experiment. They’ll pull a chunky tortoiseshell frame for a “power player” look, then pivot to delicate wire-rims for a “quiet academic” aesthetic. It’s like having a stylist, but for your face.
Cultural reference alert: Think of it as the Midsommar of optician visits—bright, oddly soothing, and you leave with a new perspective. Or, if you prefer, it’s the Notting Hill moment: unassuming and utterly charming.
They also offer a 30-day frame guarantee. So if you take those funky red frames home and they clash with your entire wardrobe, you can swap them. No drama, no pressure. It takes the anxiety out of a big decision.
