Your eyes are the most complex organ in your body after your brain, so we'll never rush an appointment or take short cuts with your examinations. We allow 75 minutes for our comprehensive examination, so you and your eyes get the personal care and attention they need. Advanced technology We’re always looking for ways to give you extra support and reassurance. By investing in the most advanced technology, we are able to offer the widest range of comprehensive and comfortable eye examinations available.
These include Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and Optomap, which provide a detailed 3D scan of the back of your eye, allowing the optometrist to see ‘behind the scenes’. Your optometrist is able to look at every layer of your eye tissue and identify a range of problems, which a regular examination might miss. Optomap captures more than 80% of your retina in a single image, while traditional imaging methods typically only show 15% of your retina. Many conditions are identified by OCT and Optomap, such as macular degeneration, central serious retinopathy and glaucoma. These can be easily treated if picked up early.
Personal advice When we've taken a thorough look at your eyes, your optometrist or dispensing optician will discuss our recommendations with you at length. Whether you need bespoke glasses, sunglasses, lens options or contact lenses, we'll make sure you have the information you need to make the right decisions.
We’re also able to offer dry eye treatment on-site and provide referrals for specialist treatment or corrective surgery. When you leave CG Optical, we want you to feel thoroughly supported, well informed and confident in the choices you've made.
Swift referrals Through our partnership with Spa Medica (NHS), we're also able to offer quick referrals for patients who require treatment for conditions such as cataracts and many more.
We'll help coordinate your treatment and will oversee all your aftercare. You won't be left waiting for the support you need and have that added reassurance from a team who know you and your eyes.
Complete care Our single aim is to give you the vision you need and deserve. While technology is crucial, we know how important it is to sit with our customers and chat through the options that are right for them. Our customers tell us that when they come to CG Optical, they feel that we wrap our arms around them. It's something we're very proud of. Your eyes are precious and powerful, and we want nothing more than to help you take care of yours.

"Would definitely recommend…. And they have the funkiest frames in Stratford!"
Fabulous and friendly service from the moment I walked through the door until I picked up my beautiful new glasses! Claire knew instinctively exactly what would suit me when I described what I wanted and they fitted me in there and then for a thorough examination. The whole team are so approachable and understanding and made the whole experience so enjoyable. Would definitely recommend…. And they have the funkiest frames in Stratford!
EVE FAULKNER - APRIL
"Would 100% recommend Claire and the CGteam".
Claire was extremely helpful when I first walked in and knew exactly what frames suited me and what didn’t. The whole process from ordering in several frames for me to try and collecting my glasses took 2 weeks, meanwhile I was getting updates via text. Would 100% recommend Claire and the CG team.
HANNAH LEES - APRIL 2024
"The whole team were fantastic, very thorough, professional and friendly."
The whole team were fantastic, very thorough, professional and friendly. I had put off getting new glasses for far too long as I always feel overwhelmed by the choice. Claire was so helpful and patient, she spent a long time helping me choose different styles to try and giving me advice on what suited me best. At no point did I feel rushed or under pressure to purchase and I’m so happy with my new glasses. I would absolutely recommend CG Optical.
