Ryan Khaira Bsc McOptom – Optometrist Director
As the Optometrist and director for the practice I take personal responsibility for ensuring that every patient receives a comprehensive eye test and a friendly and welcoming service. It is important to me that no patient is made to feel rushed or that they have any unanswered questions by the end of their visit.
Since graduating from Aston University in 2015, I have amassed experience by working in larger high street chain opticians, as well as a range of independent and community settings. I am now studying for a professional certificate in glaucoma, in order to offer the best possible care to my patients.

Kerry Preston
Manager
Kerry Preston - Dispenser
I have 32 year's experience in dispensing and fitting spectacles. Having worked for a large optical retailer up to a senior level, I’m much happier working for an independent where I can give quality time and advice to patients, advising them on their eye care needs. The best part of my job is to help people look and feel great in their new spectacles.

Raj Khaira Bsc Audiology - Audiologist
After spending several years working at both the NHS and an established high street audiology firm after graduating from the University of Manchester, I felt that the time was right to put my passion into independent audiology, in order to really give my patients the time and service that they deserve. Being an independent audiologist means that I have been able to select the best hearing products available, and allow myself the time to properly explore my patient's needs and lifestyle, so that I can give real honest and personal recommendations.
