Opticians in Kingston
Eye Tests and Examinations Kingston
Fiona Watt Optometrists are determined to provide you the best personal eye care service. We are established independent family friendly opticians in Kingston providing you the best eye solutions, using the latest most advanced technology.
We believe looking after your eyes is an integral part of looking after your overall well-being. This is because the condition of your eye can determine many factors. We recommend regular eye examinations once every two years for adults. For children and adults over 70, we recommend it once every year. Eye examinations are beneficial for many reasons. Firstly, we can pick up on any undiagnosed or untested conditions quite early in the stage and seek the best eye care solution for you. Fiona Watt Optometrists have been helping the community in and around Kingston since 1990 and we have Neha Patel leading our team. She has been with us for over 10 years and since 2019 has become the practice owner, lead clinical and principal.

There are many reasons to buy your contact lenses from Fiona Watt Optometrists. We are the number 1 supplier of contact lenses in Kingston. We’re also proud to stock the widest range of brands including, ACUVUE, Alcon and EyeDream plus many more for daily, two-weekly, monthly or multifocal contacts. Whatever you need, we are sure we can provide whatever you’re looking for.
With so many options available, our optical specialist team can help you choose the right brand and style for you. We recommend a daily lens because it’s disposable, requires less care and it’s also considered more hygienic. For comfort, we advise using the silicone hydrogel lens as they allow more oxygen to reach the eye. You also have the option to choose two-weekly and monthly or extended wear contact lenses.
Our opticians in Kingston can introduce you to the how’s and dos of contacts. They will guide you through the process and offer extra help if you don’t get it right the first time.

Journey To A Clearer Future
Sunglasses Kingston
If you’re looking for high quality prescription sunglasses at affordable and reasonable prices, then you’ve come to the right place. Fiona Watt Optometrists offer a plethora of stylish designer sunglasses in our collection. From brands like Ray Ban, Vanni and Tom Ford eyewear, we have a wide variety for you to select from.
Prescription sunglasses are a modern achievement designed to make your hot summer holidays an easy journey. It’s crucial you protect your eyes from the UV rays and the sun, as the negligence to do so, can lead to many eye problems. You can wear them on a sunny, bright day or a bright winter day. All UV rays can factor the health of your eye which is why we recommend you get a pair of prescription sunglasses alongside your regular eye wear.
All of our prescription sunglasses include 100% UVA & UVB protection, antireflection, scratch resistant coating, case and cleaning cloth.
Diabetic Eyecare Kingston
At Fiona Watt Optometrists, as your local opticians in Kingston, we provide annual diabetic eye screening for customers with diabetes. We want to be able to identify and treat any health conditions before they lead to the deterioration of your eye or blindness.
We specialise in treating diabetic retinopathy. This is a condition caused by a combination of diabetes and high blood sugar levels that damage your retina. You should seek medical attention immediately if you experience sight loss in one or both eyes, black spots, blurry visions or flashes of light. The earlier you recognise this, the quicker we can treat them.
There are also ways for you to help reduce the damage of your eye. They include:
- Quit smoking – smoking causes problems with your blood vessels, which makes you more perceptive to end up with eye troubles.
- Exercise – exercise has a large influence on blood sugar. If you’re using insulin to lower your blood sugar levels, ask your doctor for advice on when you should check your levels.
- Eat healthily – Eating healthy can factor into your eye’s health condition. You should aim to eat more fruit, vegetables and protein.
- Check your cholesterol level – take a blood test. Too much LDL can link to blood vessel damage so it’s better to be aware of this.
- Keep high blood pressure in check as it can lead to eye disease.
- Keep blood sugar under control to slow damage to the blood vessels in your eyes.
