Our practice has been around since the 1920s and the current owners, Annette and David Dobbs, came to the helm in 1982. Over the last 42 years they have led some significant changes in practice, starting with the relocation to our current premises, and the business has gone from strength to strength. Today, each member of the team is proud of the reputation that the practice continues to hold in the local area.

The Team

Annette and David have surrounded themselves with a team of like-minded, friendly and conscientious individuals who all share the ultimate aim of providing the best visual outcome for every patient. This has meant that Annette and David can take more of a back seat these days, and although they’re always ready to give help and advice, the daily running of the practice is in the extremely capable hands of our practice manager, Sara, and our resident optometrist, Grace.

“We offer a personalised service for people of all ages – looking after them, listening to them and tailoring our service and suggestions to their needs. Quality of care, service and product has always been our ethos and we are proud that our team fully upholds these principles to this day”

In addition to providing great eye care for the residents of Barry and the surrounding areas, we also make sure that we keep up with the latest clinical treatments, new equipment and the most up-to-date spectacle and contact lens developments. Together with the extra qualifications held by our optometrists it means we can offer a range of services including both NHS and private appointments, a full contact lens service, low vision assessments, emergency eye care, dry eye clinics and myopia management clinics.
