The Eye Place, an independent, family-run opticians owned by third-generation optometrist, Alex Kemp, stands as a beacon of excellence in optometry. With a long-standing philosophy centred around providing a 'different level of eyecare,' The Eye Place has cultivated a stellar reputation during the past two decades, thanks to its unwavering commitment to cutting-edge technology and superior service.

With a growing network of 11 unique practices spread out across the UK, including Derbyshire, Yorkshire and London, The Eye Place offers a personalised and sophisticated approach to eyecare. Each location is designed to deliver state of the art eye examinations, which are essential to undertake regularly, especially for individuals over 60, due to the increasing prevalence of age-related eye damage such as macular degeneration.


At the heart of The Eye Place's exceptional service is the Advanced Eye Exam which leverages state-of-the-art technology such as Optomap Retinal Imaging, which takes a scan to provide an accurate overview of your eye health. Expertly analysed by experienced optometrists, the Advanced Eye Exam is among the most comprehensive in the country, ensuring that every patient receives an unparalleled level of care.

The Eye Place is dedicated to maintaining your eye health, offering digital recording of deep retinal layers for a thorough assessment of macular and overall eye health. The Valeda light delivery system by Lumithera is offered in a selection of The Eye Places practices, making them one of the few practices in the UK to offer the service. Capable of spotting age related disease in the eye, Lumithera treatment uses red, yellow, and near-infrared light to stabilise the deeper layers of the macula, slowing the progression of vision loss in up to 80% of individuals (Lightsight I - III studies).


The Eye Place further excels in “matching faces to their perfect frames”. Offering an extensive range of glasses from around the world, with premium brands and luxury must-haves to mid-range and budget options, The Eye Place ensures that every client finds their ideal match. For those preferring the convenience of contact lenses, The Eye Place provides a selection that both “promotes excellent vision and integrates seamlessly with any lifestyle”.

As a bonus, all of The Eye Place practices boast an independent audiology centre: The Ear Place, which also falls under the watchful eye of Alex Kemp. Introduced to the business seven years ago, The Ear Place is operated by audiologists with over 40 years of experience to ensure the same, high standard of care that’s come to be expected from The Eye Place, is also paid to your ears.


For generations, under both Alex Kemp and his father before him, The Eye Place has been committed to providing exceptional eye care and service; experience the difference state of the art systems make to your eye's health and your wellbeing at any of their unique locations.
