Est. 1980
A local optician, not a chain
Dermott Eyecare has traded from this same shop on Chingford Mount Road since 1980. It's independent, not part of a franchise, and the reviews say what that means in practice: patients who've brought their children in since they were four years old, and staff who know regulars by name.
“They all know you by name and it feels like you are valued as a person rather than just another customer.”Kaniz Ahanjan, Google review
