John Biddle Opticians have been providing professional eye care services in Shropshire since 1972 when John opened his first branch, so they celebrate their 40th Anniversary in 2012 . Their caring, friendly approach has allowed them to build a trusted reputation for the quality of both their advice and service. Offering a wide range of frames, spectacles, sunglasses and contact lenses at affordable prices, combined with expert, professional eye care services and treatments, they have become a firm favourite for people in Bridgnorth and across Shropshire.

As a customer, you can be sure that the team at John Biddle will take great care to provide the very best advice and service, combined with the widest choice and quality of products available, delivering great value for money whatever your personal tastes or budget. They believe passionately that everyone should have access to high quality, independent eye care, and you can be sure that the knowledgeable and experienced team are there to help you in any way they can. John Biddle (Managing Director and Dispensing Optician) personally oversees the running of the business and strives to ensure that everyone associated with them, patients, customers, staff & visitors alike, enjoy and value their experience with them.

Eye Tests
Most people understand the benefits of looking after their sight and having regular eye tests, but many are unaware of the potential of a trained Optometrist to spot indications of more serious, underlying problems, such as diabetes, brain tumours, high blood cholesterol / pressure, and other more complex neurological conditions. Regular eye tests can often identify potentially serious health problems early, and monitor the progress of the problem thereafter. Please see John Biddle's website for more details or call in for a no-obligation chat with the friendly team.

NHS eye exams for children are FREE for under 16's and full-time students up to 19 - these are actively encouraged and supported by John Biddle Opticians, and should your child need glasses, there is a vast range of styles and designs to choose from, many of which are free with NHS spectacle vouchers.

Eye Care
Hours spent in front of a computer screen can result in more than just tired eyes - many people, without realising, suffer Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS), with the symptoms including headaches and eyestrain. Your optician can advise on the right type of eyeware that would suit your best depending on your personal circumstances.

Sun protection
John Biddle offer a wide range of quality sunglasses that block up to 100% of both UVA and UVB rays to make sure that your eyes are protected when you enjoy the sunshine. Call in to see the range of designer frames available, along with the standard prescription glasses treated to provide UV protection.

Contact Lenses
Advances in design and materials mean that most people can happily wear contact lenses with all of the many benefits they bring. At John Biddle Opticians, you'll find a full assessment service, access to all lenses on the market along with a choice of payment and budget options to suit your personal needs - and they guarantee to be competitive on price. If you've tried contact lenses before and decided against them - maybe now's the time to try again - you'll be amazed at how much they've improved.

Frames
The extensive range available starts at just £19 (including single vision plastic lenses) and you'll still benefit from the friendly, professional advice only a quality optician can offer. For those wanting more, the ever changing range includes the latest in designer frames and fashion brands and of course, as much or as little help as you need choosing the right frames and lenses for you.

Brilliant service. I tried a well known nationwide competitor, what a huge mistake. Yes I spent more money here but the glasses were ready on time and actually allowed me to see. The difference in service and quality between a major and John Biddle is more than worth the extra cost. Polite helpful informative and caring. Yes would highly recommend, thanks for "washing my eyes" for that is how it feels.

I have such a problem finding spectacles to fit and so many times I have left an optician with ill fitting unflattering and expensive glasses knowing that I will wear them as little as possible even it it does mean my falling down steps up kerbs or not being able to see the prices of things I want to buy. I went into John Biddle Opticians with a friend desperately searching for the elusive frame that will fit me and reflect my personality. I was so surprised all the staff took an immediate interest in me and my task in hand. I had never been able to try on so many pairs of glasses that actually fitted me. Then the pair that stole the show - they were so me! I am now the proud owner and wearer of a fantastic pair of shiney silver J.F.REY eyewear design. Thank you for all your time trouble patience and genuine concern in making sure that I had a pair of glasses I was happy with as opposed to just making do. Thank you for stocking glasses that are different. JBO you're the tops!

They are really great. When I had contact lenses they spent ages helping me to get used to them. When I choose new glass I get a lot of help with finding some that suit me. Everyone is always really friendly and helpful.

In September 2010, said about John Biddle Opticians

I have been especially pleased with the service I received from your Shrewsbury Office. Firstly from the lady optician who diagnosed a cataract and referred me further so that now I am waiting an operation for this condition. Secondly for Simone who understood my need for softer lighter coloured frames and spent a great deal of time advising me. She also explained all the options available with the lenses in such a way that was clear to me.I have traipsed around all the opticians in Shrewsbury and you come out best with personal service.

In July 2010, said about John Biddle Opticians

Thank you for the excellent personal service you showed me recently when I renewed my glasses. It was a pleasure doing business with you, from the initial consultation through to the eye examination, and finally the appointment to have my new glasses checked and fitted. You displayed a level of personal and professional service that certainly wasn't matched by almost all the other opticians in Shrewsbury. I must admit I had left you until last, as I had presumed you to be somewhat expensive compared to the competition, but I guess that proves the old adage - you get what you pay for. However from the moment I walked into your branch I realised my money would be best spent with you. The young lady who is on reception (apologies, I can't remember her name), has a manner that almost all receptionists could benefit from copying. She has such a welcoming smile and attitude it just reassures you that you will be well looked after. She admirably proves that old fashioned service doesn't have to be 'old fashioned'. Having a courtesy call before my appointment was also a very nice touch, thank you. Rest assured that I will continue to come to you for all future eye tests and glasses - unless any of you leave, then I'll just have to hope you will train your replacements to exactly the same high standards.

I felt I had to write to express my gratitude for the way my wife was treated at your shop in Shrewsbury. We visited the shop to look at frames and armed with a prescription from Vision Express. The manageress (Simone) went far beyond any level of personal service I have ever encountered. The attention to detail, from choosing the correct frames which were not a stock item but appeared the following day, to the time taken to ensure that the frames were not only in the correct position but would also be comfortable on her face was most impressive. In fact we were so impressed that my wife ordered a pair of sunglasses and I will be back to order my glasses in the near future. Congratulations on choosing such caring staff (including Heather).

After some problems with previous opticians and glasses, I was delighted to find that you took the time to truly understand the difficulties I was having. Your careful explanation of my choices was appreciated and worthwhile ...... I am over the moon with my new glasses!

I'd like to say a big thank you on behalf of my wife. Your optician's thorough test revealed a tumour behind her eyes. She has now been given the all clear and her doctor says that your speedy and accurate intervention has undoubtedly prevented a much worse situation from developing. Out heartfelt thanks.
