Opticians have trusted Leicester Optical since it was established in 1992. Because we are a tightly knit family business, our customers benefit from our personal attention. Since opening our doors, we have placed the needs of the customer - mainly independent opticians - at the very centre of our business.

Leicester Optical are totally independent

Because Leicester Optical offer the widest possible range of products to the trade, we do not tie ourselves to one lens manufacturer. That's why we are able to offer opticians the widest possible selection of lenses, including ESSILOR, NIKON, ZEISS, HOYA, SOLA, A/O, KODAK, SHAMIR, BBGR and many others.

Leicester Optical surfaced ultimate blank size (L.O.S.U.B.S)

The trend for lightweight, flat lenses is already well established. Because this is what your customers now expect, we have invested in the latest computer technology and staff training to guarantee that our lenses are as flat, thin and cosmetically appealing as possible. There is no extra charge to you for this service. We are often able to supply you with prescriptions which other suppliers deem to be out of range.

You can speak to the boss when you need to

How frustrating is it when you deal with a large company that passes you from department to department - perhaps even from country to country? All you want is an answer to a problem solved quickly! Leicester Optical has staff who understand the issues faced by opticians and can help you straight away. And if you can't get the help you need - speak to the boss! Our three company directors are all very experienced in optics and take a full time role in day to day matters. We are always available to answer any questions you may have, and deal with your queries personally.

Fast Service

You may notice competitive prices and high quality - but your customers will often judge your performance based on speed. Our substantial stock of finished & semi-finished lenses means a high percentage of orders are despatched by return, including surfaced s/v, most bifocal types and progressives including transitions. Local customers can take advantage of our own delivery and collection service. If you are based outside of our local delivery area, our central location means we can offer an overnight delivery service nationwide via our dedicated courier service.

Quality assurance

One way to ensure that a customer never returns to you is to deliver poor quality lenses that cause problems. Leicester Optical take care in all aspects of production and send staff on specialist manufacturer training courses to ensure a high standard whichever member of the team is working on your lenses.

As a result, we have been awarded accreditations to show that we work to the highest standards in the industry:

• Varilux Specialist Lab
• Nikon approved prescription house
• zeiss lens centre
• MiNiMA recommended laboratory
• Approved glazers of Silhouette rimless
