How often should I have an eye test?

Most adults need an eye test every two years. That said, your optometrist might suggest more frequent checks for children or anyone with a condition such as diabetes.

Can I fit new lenses into my existing designer frames?

Often, yes. Bring them along to your next appointment. If your frames are still in good condition, our team checks that they suit your new prescription. That way, you keep a pair you love and see clearly again.

Do you also supply contact lenses?

Yes. Our optometrists fit all types, and regular wearers can join our popular Direct Debit Scheme to spread the cost.

Do you stock frames for children?

Yes. We look after the whole family's eyesight, and our range includes sturdy, lightweight frames for younger wearers. Children often knock their glasses about at play, so we fit each pair carefully and adjust it as they grow. Regular checks also help spot vision problems early, before they affect reading or concentration in class.

Designer Eyewear Brands For Every Budget

At Sam Baird Opticians, we stock designer eyewear brands across a wide range of price points. That means you can pick a style you love without stretching your budget. As an established, family-run optician, we've kept our prices fair for years.

Our team starts by asking what you'd like to spend, then suggests frames within that range. Some customers come in with a favourite label in mind. Others know the look they're after and want a few ideas. Either way, you leave with options that suit your taste and your pocket.

Using Optical Vouchers On Designer Frames

Budget isn't the only thing that shapes your choice. If you qualify for an optical voucher, you don't need to settle for a basic frame. Put the voucher towards the pair you prefer and pay the difference. As a result, many of the eyewear brands on our shelves come within reach.

Eligibility usually depends on your age or the benefits you receive. Our team checks this when you book your eye test and explains what your voucher covers before you start browsing. When you're ready, visit our Lisburn practice or one of our other branches to see the full range.

Aftercare For Your Designer Frames

Our support carries on after you've chosen from our designer eyewear brands. Our team at Sam Baird Opticians adjusts frames that start to slip or pinch, and we also handle small repairs such as replacing worn nose pads or tightening loose hinges.

Good habits at home help too. Clean your lenses with a microfibre cloth and lens spray rather than your sleeve, and keep your glasses in their case when you take them off. Together, these habits protect the finish and help your frames hold their shape between visits to our Lisburn practice.
