Eric Mercer Optometrist

Eric Mercer Optometrist At Eric Mercer's, we specialise in advanced eye tests, emergency eye care and designer eyewear

Treat your Eyes to Quality Care: Professional Eye Care in Belfast. At Eric Mercer's, we've been looking after clients and their eyes for over 20 years now. Our mission, now as ever, to deliver top quality eyecare in a professional but friendly environment. Advanced Eye Test
We do this by being forward-thinking and innovative - keeping a finger on the pulse of modern technology and training. That means investing in state-of-the-art equipment, like our new 3-D OCT eye scanner, and keeping up to date with all the latest developments in varifocal lenses, designer frames and contact lenses. Bespoke Eyewear
When it comes to choosing new eyewear, we love a challenge. Using our friendly expertise, we'll always go the extra mile to help create a designer look that's just right for you. We'll make sure your spectacles are comfortable and properly fitted and we'll discuss the best lens options for you and your individual needs. Practice with Personality
We put a premium on great personal service. If you've been uninspired by corporate opticians in the past, we guarantee your visit with us will be a much more relaxed and enjoyable experience. From answering queries about eye health to finding the perfect frame, we'll always take time to treat you as an individual and not part of a conveyor belt.

Meet our Optician, Eric 👨‍⚕️

With over 35 years in optometry, I’m proud to call Belfast home. After studying at Aston & Edinburgh Universities, and practising in London & Edinburgh I returned to my roots in Cregagh to open my own practice on Woodstock Road in 1998. Since then, it’s been an incredible journey of growth and community, alongside a dedicated team. I’m always learning and keeping up with the latest in eye care to provide our patients with the best service possible.

Outside of work, you’ll find me outdoors, running with my dogs, reading, and enjoying live music. Here’s to the next chapter! 👓
