Local eye care with a personal touch

Clear, comfortable vision makes a real difference to your day, and that is exactly what we focus on at Advanced Vision. We've spent 30 years helping people in Whitley Bay feel looked after, listened to, and confident about their eye health. Our independent approach means we take the time to explain what we find, use advanced diagnostic technology with care, and guide you towards choices that genuinely suit your life. 

 

We also provide children’s eye examination services, helping younger patients receive appropriate care from an early age. If you've been putting off an eye test, struggling with uncomfortable lenses, or feeling unsure about new glasses, book an appointment with our team and we'll make the whole process feel simpler.

"Recently switched opticians to Advanced Vision on recommendation of my wife. The optician (Khameran) carried out the examination, which at each stage was well explained and probably the most thorough I ever had in my almost 70 years! Also opted for a further detailed test, which was worthwhile and very competitively priced. Obtained two pairs of glasses, especially a prescription for driving, as was recommended. The two ladies in the showroom were very friendly and helpful with frame choice, etc, with no pitch to obtain designer brands! Glasses were ready for collection within 9-10 days. Overall, I am very pleased with the service that I received, and as an advocate of supporting local businesses, I am happy to recommend this family-run Whitley Bay business!"

Eye care that feels clear and reassuring

Your eyes can change gradually, and it's easy to miss the signs until reading, driving, or screen time starts to feel harder than it should. We look after adults and children with thorough eye tests, contact lens fittings, dry eye assessments, myopia management, and advice on glasses that work for your routine. Our team at Advanced Vision also helps you choose from designer and affordable frames, specialist lenses, and prescription sunglasses, while our offers provide value across selected products and services. 

 

If you're interested in joining our team, explore our career opportunities. That matters because good eye care should protect your long-term vision and leave you feeling sure about what comes next.
