WHAT’S INCLUDED IN OUR £9/MONTH EYE-CARE PLAN — AND IS IT WORTH IT?

If you’ve ever wondered whether an eye-care plan is really worth it, you’re not alone. At Bottomley Opticians, we’re fully private — no NHS funding — which means everything we do is focused on delivering premium care, not ticking boxes.

Our Eye-Care Plan is £9/month by Direct Debit — and here’s exactly what that gets you:

45–60 minute comprehensive eye exams

OCT 3D scans included (usually ÂŁ140 on their own)

Unlimited appointments throughout the year

10% off all complete spectacles and sunglasses

6-month eyewear MOTs

Unlimited in-house adjustments and minor repairs

Priority appointment booking

Invitations to exclusive eyewear events

Freshly ground coffee during your visit — on the house!

Whether you visit twice a year or twice a month, you’ll always get unrushed, expert care — with style, comfort, and clarity.

Most importantly, you get peace of mind: that your vision is being looked after properly, year-round, by people who care.

Do Experts Still Matter in a Self-Service World ?

We’ve never had more tools to “do it ourselves” — yet real expertise has never been more valuable.

Online, you can pick anything: a restaurant, a holiday, even your eyewear.
But convenience isn’t the same as confidence.

There’s something different about sitting with someone who actually knows:
someone who reads faces, not price tags
someone who sees your personality before you speak
someone who reduces the noise instead of adding to it
A good expert doesn’t tell you what to choose.

They make the choice clearer.
In a self-service world, guidance is a quiet luxury.

Everyone has a moment where they realise they’ve been “making do”.

It happens the second you encounter something genuinely better:
A meal cooked properly.
A hotel that gets the small things right.
A conversation where someone listens.

Or a pair of frames that finally feel like they belong on your face.
Quality has a way of quietly revealing what you’ve been tolerating.
It’s not about indulgence — it’s about alignment.
“Ah… this is how it’s meant to feel.”

Once you’ve seen the difference, you can’t unsee it.

One Face, Many Moods — Why Nareece Proves You Don’t Have “One” Style

Here’s the thing most people don’t realise about eyewear:
your face isn’t a fixed “type.”
It’s a canvas.
And Nareece — our brilliant Practice Manager — is the perfect example.
In one reel she goes from soft and understated… to bold and architectural… to playful and colourful… to cool and modern.
Same face.
Completely different vibe.

What changes?
The frames — and what they choose to highlight.
✔ Angular frames sharpen her features and give her this confident, professional energy.
✔ Soft, rounded acetates make her look warm, approachable and effortlessly stylish.
✔ Bold colour pops bring out her eyes and add a bit of fun (very “Nareece on a Friday”).
✔ Light metals create a clean, elegant look that works beautifully with her complexion.
✔ Chunky statement shapes transform her into someone who could be front-row at a fashion show.

None of them are “wrong.”
In fact, that’s the point — your look doesn’t have to be one-dimensional.

Most people think they need to choose the one pair that suits them.
But really, it’s about choosing the pair that suits who you are today.

Work mode?
Weekend mode?
Creative mood?
Something a bit braver than last time?

Eyewear is styling — and styling changes depending on how you want to be seen.
Nareece’s wardrobe is a masterclass in that.

And if you’ve ever wondered what your variations could be, that’s exactly what a Bottomleys styling appointment is for.

Most people try to “look confident”.
But real confidence comes from looking like yourself — the version that feels right, not the version you settled for.

There’s a subtle shift that happens when what you’re wearing, especially on your face, reflects who you are.

Conversations feel easier.
You stand differently.
People respond differently.
Not because you’re trying harder — but because you finally match your own identity.

Being seen properly is underrated.
But when it happens, everything moves more smoothly.

👓 If you’d like help finding eyewear that feels authentically you, our styling experience might resonate.

Most people I know aren’t short of time.
They’re short of attention.

We rush from task to task, ticking boxes, hitting deadlines, “getting through the list” — but the list is infinite and we’re not.

I’ve done it myself: rushing so fast that I only half-experience the good bits.

The coffee with a friend.

The crisp air on a morning walk.

The satisfaction of finishing something properly rather than quickly.

Even the simple act of sitting down and choosing how you want to look and feel every day.

When everything becomes urgent, nothing feels meaningful.

Slowing down isn’t laziness.
It’s reclaiming ownership of the moments you’re actually living.

A strange thing happens when you stop rushing:
you start to see what’s worth your time — and what isn’t.
And that’s the first step to a calmer, sharper, more intentional life.

The funny thing about “details” is that most of them aren’t small at all.
They’re just ignored.

We train ourselves to look for the obvious — the bold headline, the big milestone, the shiny thing everyone else is excited about.

But the things that actually make the difference?
They’re often subtle. Quiet. Easy to overlook.
A better-built hinge.

A smoother process.

A thoughtful conversation.

A frame that fits your face and your life.

A habit that makes the day go better.

People who notice the right details tend to live better lives — not extravagantly, but smoothly.

Less friction.
More ease.

More of that feeling of, “Oh — someone actually thought about this.”

It’s not extravagance.
It’s discernment.

A small shift in what you notice can completely change what you experience.

“You Can’t Mass-Produce Individuality”

The high street has scale — and that’s impressive.
Thousands of clients, huge logistics, smooth systems.

But individuality doesn’t come from systems.
It comes from people who care — who take the time to combine medical precision with real aesthetic understanding.
You can’t automate intuition.
You can’t bulk-buy taste.

Every face, every prescription, every personality is different.
That’s what keeps this work alive for us — the craft, the care, and that moment when you’re introduced to something you’d never have picked yourself, and suddenly it just belongs on you.

That moment can’t be mass-produced.
It’s handmade — like the frames we love, and the confidence that grows each time you see the best in yourself and carry it into the world as part of your story and ours.

Meet Richard.
A lovely gentleman with a painter’s patience and a sketcher’s eye.
He enjoys working with fine detail — and when you work that closely, the clarity of your vision makes all the difference.

He came to see us for something that felt comfortable, characterful and not heavy on the face.

He chose a Morel frame — light, beautifully made, and quietly stylish.
To support his artwork, we fitted Zeiss Individual varifocals, tailored specifically to how he uses his eyes — so he can move between canvas, table, reference and the world around him with ease.

It’s eyewear that helps him do what he loves, and feel like himself while doing it.

That’s always the point.

This is Julie .....and Julie has excellent taste in eyewear.
She chose not one, but two gorgeous pieces, each with its own personality… and both look absolutely superb on her.

The first pair has that timeless, rounded elegance.
The second? A beautiful burst of colour that lights up her features and brings a playful edge to her look.

It’s a joy styling someone who’s open to exploring different moods through their frames — and Julie wears both with effortless confidence.
If you’d like help finding eyewear that feels just right for you, come and see us.
