Keratoconus friendly opticians
Posted: Sun 06 Nov 2022 8:43 am
My first posting here, although I have been reading this forum on and off over the years.
I have been wearing SoClear mini screrals for a number of years and hybrids before they were withdrawn.
My first practitioner retired but I found an excellent alternative by talking to the manufacturer/supplier of the lens of other opticians they supplied to.
Sadly, this person too took an early retirement and sold his practice. Initially things were good but lately things are starting to slip. I won’t go into the details but sufficient to say it’s time for a change.
I approached the same lens supplier but this time they were not helpful insisting on a specific postcode rather than giving me a list of practitioners in london area. Strangely they pointed me in direction of national chains (the ones with green signage). I am not sure about these places as I suspect there is no continuity of the person examining you.
I know there is a list of kerataconus friendly opticians on this site but also know it’s not comprehensive, as the one I go to is not there.
Any pointers from posters here about opticians in south/southwest/west london or for that matter anywhere in london. I fully accept it’s not a recommendation.
