At Clarke & Roskrow Styling Opticians we allow 50 minutes for your consultation. We appreciate that your time is valuable, and we want to make sure we get things right for you first time. A lot of our clients are professionals themselves, and they choose Clarke & Roskrow Styling Opticians because they want to see an expert. They want to see someone they can trust and have confidence in.

The reason our appointments are 50 minutes is not only to allow for the technical elements of doing an eye exam; you can do an eye exam in about 20-25 minutes, which is what most places do.

The extra time we spend with you makes for a more relaxed and enjoyable experience. Our Optometrists can explore more thoroughly your specific vision needs, which helps us to give you the best advice and recommendations.

We take the extra time to learn more about YOU, and what your particular needs and preferences are. That means you’ll get the most effective advice and solutions because it is tailored specifically to you.

An Enhanced Experience

At Clarke & Roskrow Styling Opticians, we believe in offering our clients not only the best eyewear and prescription lenses available, but also the highest standard of eye examination. We have made a significant investment in our diagnostic technology, being one of the first practices locally to invest in a state-of-the-art, hospital-standard Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) scanner. This technology is a bit like the eye’s version of an MRI-scan or ultrasound, in that it provides a much more detailed, 3-dimensional assessment of the central retina and the optic nerve.

The three main benefits of the OCT scan are:

  1. It provides additional peace of mind and reassurance that your eyes are as healthy as we think they are;
  2. It allows us to detect signs of eye disease at a much earlier stage, often years before we can detect problems with more traditional methods of examination. Early detection of eye disease allows for better protection of your vision; and
  3. It provides a permanent, digital record of how your eyes look at a specific moment in time, providing a baseline for all future visits. Uniquely, the OCT software can analyse subsequent scans to detect signs of change that may be the indication of early eye disease.

Since introducing the OCT in 2016, we have made it a standard part of our private eye examination.  Our clients who are eligible for a NHS-funded sight-test can also benefit from this more enhanced service by paying a supplementary fee for the OCT scan. About 70% of our NHS-eligible clients choose to invest in their eyecare with an OCT scan.

A Nice Place to Visit

Most eye examinations are conducted in small, cramped, stuffy dark rooms. But not here. We are fortunate enough to have a beautiful building on Church Street, “the Bond Street of the East Midlands.” Our award-winning building is every bit as different as everything else that we do! A visit to Clarke & Roskrow Styling Opticians is more like a visit to a boutique hotel than an optician, making your experience with us a more enjoyable one. Nothing is rushed, and we take the time to get to know our clients, many of whom we greet on a first-name basis.

Eyewear Styling Consultation

Once your eye exam consultation is complete, we’ll offer you a FREE no-obligation Eyewear Styling Consultation if you are interested in new eyewear.

This is another professional consultation with one of our Dispensing team. We show you the range of eyewear collections we have available, and we can advise on the best shapes, styles and colours to suit you. The team will show you all of the options and possibilities available to you from our carefully selected, hand-curated collection of frames. So, if you are interested in new eyewear, this free consultation will be helpful and informative but most of all enjoyable, even if you decide to purchase your eyewear elsewhere.

    Two years ago I needed new glasses and a friend recommended Clarke & Roskrow. Market Harborough is well over an hour from my home in Derbyshire but it is more than worth the effort of the journey. They combine a very professional service with boundless enthusiasm and fun offering an amazing selection of frames in lovely surroundings. Thank you so much for my new sunglasses, they’re perfect!

    Paula Page

    I arrived at Clarke & Roskrow a slightly emotional middle aged woman, lacking a sense of identity and confidence, I left transformed. Not only has Anthony’s expertise uncovered an ongoing eye condition, but also Tina’s smiling reassurance and Jason’s fun and gentle approach to finding the perfect frames have ensured I am hooked, why go anywhere else!

    Martine Chandler

    A very through eye examination was followed by excellent and very helpful advice regarding new frames. I cannot fault the expertise and ongoing service of all concerned.

    Tis Fearon

    Fantastic choice of glasses . Lovely people. A pleasurable experience all round.

    Stuart Palmer

    Friendly, helpful staff and a lovely experience. I am thrilled with my glasses, expensive but worth it.

    Lavinia Tomkins

    I can’t rate Clarke & Roskrow highly enough, their commitment to customer care is second to none.
    My eye test with Anthony was the longest and most thorough I’ve ever had, and he took great care in explaining all that was to happen, most professional. Thereafter, Tina and Emma spent endless time in helping me choose frames, and what a delightful choice!! Every colour and style you can imagine in niche eyewear. You are always given the warmest welcome, be it popping in to have your glasses adjusted, cleaned thoroughly or just an update on the latest eyewear to hit town. Thank you team Clarke & Roskrow, take a well deserved bow.

    Bren Abbott

    Eye exam was excellent and follow up to choose a new pair of glasses was the best I have experienced in 25 years of eye wear. No hard sales pressure just amazing customer service. A far cry from the national chains. 101% recommended.

    Neil Russ

    After using the same optician for the last 10 years, I decided it was time for a change and my wife suggested Clarke & Roskrow. We were both impressed with the high level of customer service and the contemporary choice of frames. Yes, it’s expensive but the quality is evident. Emma, was brilliant in selecting a wide range of options, and I have to say I’ve been delighted with my glasses and super cool sunglasses…now where did the summer go 🙂

    Credit to Clarke & Roskrow for putting quality and service front and centre of the customer experience.

    Vince Kearney

    Good patience to help find a frame I was happy with and aftercare to get the fit the just right.

    Dan Perrin

    Great service!
    A thorough eye exam and then a great choice of glasses not seen anywhere else. I would certainly recommend.

    Wow! If you want passionate, professional and friendly people giving excellent service, over and above the norm, this is the place for you. Impressed with the extremely thorough eye test and the eye wear selection process. Such exciting choices too! None of the usual pressure to choose, more relaxing and hence, very enjoyable. This is an experience in itself. Excited for my next visit!

    Sue Anderson

    Have been coming here for a year or so and have 2 pairs of stunning glasses in my collection so far. I love that you get something unique and the service is second to none. Everyone I have seen is super knowledgeable and helpful and seem to have a knack at knowing what will suit you. They are very honest which I also love as this is really helpful when making your final selection.

    I won’t go anywhere else for my glasses now. A must visit, you won’t be disappointed.

    Karin Eastough

    After a 10 year flirtation with a “High Street” optician I have gone back Clarke and Roskow in Church Street. I am delighted with my new glasses (weighing only 11 grams) so I hope I will not have to go in every two months for repairs to make them wearable as I had to do with the other optician. It was like going home and they had my records from 30 years ago. And they gave me a box of chocolates with my new specs!

    Rosalind Willatts

    C & R provide a fabulous experience in which time is no barrier to finding the right lens and frames. I have had so many compliments about my glasses – they allow you to express yourself through your glasses which are suited to your personality and would def recommend and certainly return 😊 many thanks x

    Marylyn Richardson

    For about 15 years, I have followed Mr. Clarke around wherever he has worked and I’m delighted that he now has his own practice. Patients are lucky that he decided to open his practice in Leicestershire. A brilliant Optometrist and you receive first-class eye care and he has a fantastic range of frames.

    Aine Flaherty

    Excellent service from all the friendly staff, who each made me feel important and filled me with confidence that they knew what they’re doing. Far better than any High Street chain but if it’s cheap that you’re after then they may not be for you.

    Di Evans

    I visited early this year and Anthony and The Team worked there magic and I now have a new set of lightweight stylise frames. I love the personal, professional and honest service I received and can’t wait to return and have a new pair from the Autumn collection as a little Christmas gift to me.

    Gilly Smith

    This is a review for your monthly newsletter – it’s fab, what a great idea – it really reminds me what great family friendly service you guys provide (even if your son plays for a different rugby team!) – love the eye-friendly recipe too.
