The Optical Studio: Our Story

Our Story

We established Optical Studio as a brother-sister duo in 2006 with a shared vision to offer the most bespoke and innovative eye care services in the South East. We wanted to break away from the one-size-fits-all optometry pedaled by high street chains, and instead provide a service completely tailored around each individual’s personal requirements and lifestyle.

Having grown up in Virginia Water and later both trained up as optometrists, we decided this beautiful village would be the ideal spot to establish our first practice, and Optical Studio was born.

Over a decade on, and our commitment to this core ethos has seen Optical Studio expand into two more practices in Farnham and Pimlico. Our story has been powered by the expertise and dedication of our team, whose passion for eye care has help us build a reputation as one of the most trusted Independent Opticians in London.

What makes us so different?

In addition to using cutting-edge technology throughout our comprehensive eye examinations, our state of the art Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) scanner enables us to capture unprecedentedly detailed 3D images of the layers that comprise the backs of your eyes and monitor for the slightest changes to ensure your vision remains healthy for a lifetime.
