INDPENDENT OPTICIANS FOR GLASSES AND SUNGLASSES
Glasses are so much more than a fashion accessory, they are an investment.
Not only are they essential for improving your vision and maintaining good eye health, but they also improve your quality of life. Glasses which are tailored with your prescription can help you go about your daily routine with more confidence and visual clarity.
Make struggling to read the menu at your favourite restaurant and squinting to see the TV more clearly a thing of the past, and book your eye examination with Coton & Hamblin today.

TAILORED LENSES FOR YOUR VISION
At Coton & Hamblin we are Essilor Bespoke Lens Specialists – this means that your spectacle measurements are taken using the Visioffice – a piece of equipment that uses digital technology and AI to ensure your lenses are perfectly measured and made using precision techniques to provide optimum vision and visual comfort.
Our experienced dispensing team will discuss your prescription and discuss options with you on the type of lens you require, the thickness of lens to suit your frame and any additional coatings you may require, so that your new glasses meet all of your requirements.
Protecting your eyes against UV rays is just as important as your skin, so whether you are going on a summer holiday or going for a walk on a cloudy London day, we can help you find the perfect pair of prescription sunglasses too.
FIND YOUR PERFECT MATCH WITH OUR STYLISH FRAMES
We have a vast selection of quality frames to suit all budgets including designer brands such as Ray Ban, Tom Ford, Prada and Belinger to name but a few!
Whether you are looking for a rimless frame, a plastic frame, a metal frame, a round frame, a lightweight frame, our team will take their time to help you choose a frame that suits your needs and style.
Our dispensing team is here to help you, providing you with a bespoke service so that you are leaving us with the perfect fitting pair of glasses to fit your lifestyle and meet all of your vision needs.
Choosing just one pair of our stylish frames may be tricky, so make sure you ask our dispensing team about our second pair half price with Essilor Crizal lenses, so you can have glasses for every occasion.
If you are eligible for an NHS sight test, in certain cases you may also be eligible for an NHS optical voucher towards the cost of your glasses.
Alternatively, we offer payment options. Please discuss these options with a member of the team. Terms and Conditions apply.
PRESCRIPTION SUNGLASSES
Here at Coton & Hamblin, we are passionate about sunglasses – as well as looking good, they also protect the eyes and the delicate area around the eyes from the sun.
We offer a variety of sun wear options from ready to wear Sunglasses from brands including Ray Ban, Maui Jim and Tom Ford to Polar Eye Wear – which have magnetic clips to provide sun protection.
We can also make any spectacle frame into a pair of sunglasses.
There are many sunglasses lens options – which include:
- Tinted lenses – full or graduated
- Mirror lenses
- Polarising lenses – very good at reducing unwanted reflections and glare – a favourite amongst fishers
- Transitions – which darken with UV exposure
Prescription sunglasses can be made to any lens type, including varifocals, and they can also have additional lens treatments to offer further UV protection, reduce glare and improve visual comfort,
For individual advice on glasses or sunglasses please call us and we will be more than happy to help
