eye care
Your eyes are essential in daily life—prioritise their health.
With the expertise of our experienced optometrists and the latest modern technology, we can prevent many eye issues before they become serious.
We provide thorough and professional eye exams to ensure the health and clarity of your vision. Our experienced optometrists use state-of-the-art equipment and techniques to assess your eyes and detect any potential issues.
Optomap captures an ultra-wide view of your retina, providing a panoramic image that shows over 80% of the retina in a single scan. With Optomap ultra-wide digital retinal imaging, we are able to make well-informed decisions about your eye health and overall well-being.
Low-Level Light Therapy (LLLT) is a revolutionary treatment for dry eye disease that works at a biological level to stimulate your eye’s natural functions.
Occupational lenses can improve your overall productivity. These specialised lenses address various vision needs based on different occupational environments, ensuring you have the right tools to perform your best.
Our collection features frames from renowned designers who prioritise comfort, durability, and elegance, making sure your glasses are as functional as they are fashionable. Whether you’re looking for timeless classics or cutting-edge trends, our range includes options to suit every taste and lifestyle.

"I had a thoroughly enjoyable experience today, and was reminded during fitting that my first visit to Hawkes and Wainer in Fenchurch Street was in 1985, nearly 40 years ago (40 next year). The team at your company have always been wonderful. Thank you again and kind regards"
— Duncan
"I popped in this lunch time with my RayBan sunglasses as they needed a slight repair. I would just like to thank you so much for doing so and your kind service and generosity."
