Would you travel over
300 miles or to
another country to
see your optician?
Local opticians Parley Optometrists have
built a reputation for clinical expertise and
advanced eye-care, but are they so special
that you should make a special journey?
Clearly a lot of people think so, as they
boast a client database including some
that travel from Cornwall, Wales, the
Midlands, Teeside and even France,
Cypress and Australia!
They have won or been short listed for no
less than nine national optician awards, and
continue to invest heavily in state of the art
technology for the benefit of their clients.
The very experienced clinical team at Parley
Optometrists includes Noreen Boyd who
amongst other things has volunteered for
the charity “vision aid overseas”. Director
and also senior optometrist at Royal
Bournemouth Hospital, Rob Jones explains
that “the importance of a good team cannot
be underestimated, especially if we want to
continue to exceed our patients
• Diabetic eye screening
• Glaucoma screening
& hospital shared eye care
• NHS & Private eye exams
• Contact lens specialists
• Orthokeratology (Eye-Dream)
an alternative to laser - for those
suitable
• Digital imaging of the internal &
external structures of the eye
• Corneal topography/pachymetry
(advanced scanning techniques)
• Children’s examinations &
coloured overlays for specific
learning / reading difficulties
• Hospital cataract referral centre
• Dry Eye specialists
• Advanced 3D OCT Screening for
the most advanced eye test
expectations”. With
this in mind, there is
also a new addition to the
team, Optometrist Claire
Broadley who also works at Royal
Bournemouth Hospital. She joins this
month to strengthen the breadth of clinical
experience on offer.
The practice was one of the first in the UK
to offer 3D retinal scanning or Optical
Coherence Tomography, and offers a range
of different services above and beyond what
is usually available on the high street, whilst
also offering the usual range of products to
suit those with designer tastes or those on a
tight budget.

You don’t need an eye examination to see
why people travel from far and wide to
access this level of service....and it happens
to be on your doorstep!
