Barnett Opticians have joined forces with other independent Opticians and Optometrists across the UK to highlight the work of local independent optical practices during the pandemic. Principal Optometrist Mark Nelson features in a ‘Share your love for independents’ video which celebrates the work we've been doing during the COVID-19 pandemic. This includes delivering contact lenses, fixing broken glasses, alleviating pressure from the NHS by dealing with eye emergencies and helping key workers with their eye care needs. Can you spot him in the video?  Barnett Opticians is in the process of reopening. We are currently making some changes to the practice to keep our staff and patients safe. We can still provide:

GET IN CONTACT IF YOU NEED CONTACTS: If you are a contact lens wearer please let us know if you require any further supplies and we can still arrange for them to be posted to you, even if you usually collect them from us. We hope all our customers and their loved ones remain safe and healthy. We hope to see you soon, take care. When we reopen, we'll be doing things a little differently. See the video below: Following the Prime Minister's announcement this evening, Barnett Opticians will be closed until we are advised it is safe to re-open. We can still be contacted by email (info@barnettopticians.co.uk) and phone (020 8868 3003). If you are a contact lens wearer please let us know if you require any further supplies and we can still arrange for them to be posted to you, even if you usually collect them from us.

Barnett Opticians will be reducing its hours and staffing. For a few days only, an optician will be available from 11am to 3pm for collection of spectacles and contact lenses and minor repairs and adjustments to spectacles supplied by us. There will be no eye examinations or contact lens checks. We will be limiting the number of people inside the shop and strict on using hand sanitiser on entering. If you are a contact lens wearer please let us know if you require any further supplies and we can arrange for them to be posted to you, even if you usually collect them from us. In some cases (subject to date of your last sight test and current frame stock) we may be able to make up and post out an emergency pair of spectacles based on your previous prescription and frame order. These are challenging times. The local hospital at Northwick Park has already been overwhelmed with 'CoVid 19' patients and it is still early days. We can be contacted on 020 8868 3003 or info@barnettopticians.co.uk In line with Government recommendations, we are asking any patient experiencing a temperature, or a new continuous cough to cancel their appointment over the phone and to rebook when they are fully recovered. For those visiting the practice, hand sanitisers are available for staff and patients. Hand washing is actively encouraged. We understand that some patients – especially those from more vulnerable groups (Over 70’s, or those with underlying health conditions) - may not be able to attend a clinic unless absolutely necessary. If these patients have any questions about the health of their eyes, please email or telephone the practice and we will arrange for an optometrist to phone you back. In some cases (subject to the date of your last sight test and our current frame stock) we may be able to make up and post out an emergency pair of spectacles based on your previous prescription and frame order. If you are a contact lens wearer please let us know if you require any further supplies and we can arrange for them to be posted to you, even if you usually collect them from us. We look forward to continuing to fulfil your eye care and eye wear needs, now and in the future.
Over the festive season, we will have reduced opening hours as below. We would like to wish all our customers and their families a merry Season's Greetings with all best wishes for the New Year:
We can be contacted over the Christmas period by email: info@barnettopticians.co.uk.

Carrie joined the practice in 2012 as an experienced Dispensing Optician and quickly became an integral member of our team. She will be remembered fondly for her kind and friendly ethos, as well as her keen interests in photography and formula 1 motor racing. She will be deeply missed. We offer our sincere condolences to her husband, family and many friends.   We're delighted to announce that we have joined the Acuvue Contact Lens Recycle Programme, powered by Terracycle. Every year countless contact lenses and pieces of blister packaging end up in landfill sites across the UK. The Acuvue Contact Lens Recycle Programme allows us to recycle your contact lenses and blister packaging, preventing them from ending up in landfill. Bring in your used lenses and packaging and pop them in the recycling box in reception - as demonstrated here by one of our Optometrists Mark Nelson. By supporting this scheme, you will not only help the environment, but the waste you recycle will also help to fund schools and charitable organisations. For more information on the scheme, please see the Terracycle website. ACCEPTED WASTE
