Buy Less, Choose Well, Make it Last
No disposable fashion for us! We encourage our customers to choose a strong beautiful frame that will last a long time and always look stunning. This is our environmentally friendly ethos! Just like you, we worry about the disgusting amount of plastic in our oceans and waste in landfills.

Neubau our latest range is eco-friendly, high quality, extremely light with ergonomic design for great fitting frames. The frames are made from naturalPX which is a highly developed, eco-friendly material. naturalPX is made from organically sourced and renewable primary products, as 65% of it is based on oil extracted from the seeds of castor oil plants. Everything from the design process to the spectacle case is the best possible design for the environment. Learn more about Neubau.

Environment
We all have to do our little bit for the environment. Optique Vision is a paperless practice. We have a state of the art software programme and do our best to keep the amount of paper to a strict minimum. We are encouraging all our customers to opt for phone, text or email communication. All our paper and plastic waste is recycled. We offer our patients a spectacle recycling service - old spectacles are donated to the Lions Club for redistribution to developing countries or recycling.
