OUR SERVICES
At Tunnells we offer a wide range of expertise in eye examinations, contact lenses, spectacles and sunglasses.
From eye tests to designer eyewear, Tunnells offers expert care, tailored lenses, and trusted advice, helping you see clearly and look your best.
Key services
Contact lens check
Regular contact lens check-ups ensure your lenses provide clear vision, comfort, and a healthy fit.
Eye examinations
Our eye exams thoroughly assess your vision and eye health using the latest diagnostic technology.
Myopia control
Early diagnosis and management of myopia can help correct your child’s vision.
Whether for reading, driving, computer use, or distance vision, we offer a wide range of spectacles to suit every need. Our collection includes an extensive choice of brands—many exclusive to Tunnell Vision—paired with expert advice to help you find the perfect frame for your prescription and style.
SUNGLASSES
Designer style, everyday protection.
Our sunglasses combine UV protection with standout style. Choose from one of the region’s largest selections of designer brands—Cartier, Tom Ford, Oakley, Ray-Ban, Prada, Tiffany, and more. We also stock performance sunglasses for skiing, hiking, and extreme sports, with most models available in prescription options including single vision, bifocal, and varifocal. With years of expertise in curved lenses, we’ll help you find the perfect fit for both style and performance.
CONTACT LENSES
Freedom and flexibility for every lifestyle.
Contact lenses offer freedom from spectacles and are ideal for sports and active lifestyles. Thanks to advances in technology, almost all prescriptions can now be corrected—including astigmatism and varifocal. Suitable for all ages, from children to adults over 80, lenses are fitted by our specialist optician for the best comfort and vision. We also provide Myopia Control lenses for younger patients.
ACCESSORIES
Everything you need to care for your vision.
At Tunnells, we offer a comprehensive range of accessories to keep your eyewear and contact lenses in top condition. From cleaning solutions, cords, and storage cases to dry-eye treatments, macular degeneration vitamins, and low vision aids, our carefully selected products support your eye health and ensure your frames and lenses last longer.
MAGNIFIERS
Expert solutions for enhanced vision.
Our Dispensing Opticians are fully qualified in Low Vision, allowing us to provide tailored advice on the most effective magnifiers and visual aids. Whether for reading, hobbies, or daily tasks, we ensure you get the best possible vision and magnification to suit your individual needs. With our expertise, every visual aid is carefully selected to improve clarity, comfort, and independence in everyday life.
LENSES
Precision lenses, tailored to you.
We specialise in single vision, bifocal, and varifocal lenses from premium brands like Zeiss, Essilor, and Rodenstock. Lenses can include extras such as anti-reflective coatings, photochromic/transitions, polarization, and higher refractive index for thinner profiles. With two expert Dispensing Opticians always available, we provide tailored advice to ensure the perfect lens for your prescription and frame, including high-base lenses for wraparound frames and maximum sun and UV protection.
PRESCRIPTION
Performance meets precision.
We stock a wide range of specialist sports frames for activities from rugby and squash to skiing and beyond. Prescription lenses can be built in or fitted behind interchangeable front lenses for changing light conditions. Brands include Oakley, Rudy Project, and Bollé.
“We’ve always received excellent service. Recently, when a fault developed in my husband’s glasses after the warranty expired, Tunnells liaised with the manufacturer and provided replacement lenses free of charge. Professional, thoughtful, and outstanding customer service.”
