I have been going to Christopher Young Optician for over twenty years. A friendly professional service and all the latest technology to monitor your eye health. Always a pleasure to visit. I would definitely recommend Chris and his team.

From the time I contacted the team, I felt like I was being listened to, not just another 'punter' through the revolving door, like some other companies. The tests I had done were far more thorough than other optometrists, and uncovered an issue with my binocular vision that no-one else had found.I'm an hour's drive away from the Christopher Young branch, and I'll go back there in 2 years to get tested again - I think that says it all! Thanks!

Always made to feel welcome with a personal touch and care and time taken over the examination. Great range of frames, making choice difficult, but staff very helpful and seem to know what suits you.

Was recommended to this opticians by an eye surgeon. They are fantastic in every way and I certainly would never go anywhere else. Absolutely first class.

The most attentive and thorough eye test for my 10 year old daughter. The staff were amazing and so accommodating to all of our needs. We were welcomed through the door as friends rather than customers and everyone made us feel extremely welcome. The atmosphere in the shop was perfect for children. The decor is bright and cheerful and the whole feeling of the service is that nothing is too much trouble. We were so impressed with how thorough the eye test was and would recommend to anyone with nervous children. We will be switching to Christopher Young without hesitation for our whole family. The glasses are funky too which always impresses the kids.

Caring, friendly and helpful private practice. Have found their Eyeplan affordable and effective. My vision is not the easiest to contend with and am very grateful that Chris and his colleagues are always willing to devote time and energy to making sure I'm well looked after, listening carefully to any concerns and addressing them kindly and professionally.

Christopher Young

Optometrist

Chris qualified as an optometrist virtually before time began. He has worked in the practice since it opened in 1986 and now specialises in Vision Therapy. In his spare time he is a member of the local Masonic Lodge and enjoys sailing, watching rugby and cricket as well as sampling Single Malts and red wine.

Rebecca

Rebecca

Optometrist and Dry Eye Specialist

After finishing a degree in Biology at Southampton University Rebecca went on to study Optometry at Cardiff University and completed her pre-registration at Williams & Parry Opticians in heart of the Welsh valleys.

Rebecca still keeps a strong affiliation with Cardiff University and has returned as a part-time clinical supervisor and also as an organiser/participant in the ‘Returning Vision Moldova Project’. This non-profit University associated project involves visiting remote and impoverished communities in Moldova and providing eye exams and glasses to those in need.

Always keen to expand her knowledge Rebecca has consistently completed extra accreditation in optometry since graduating; most recently the post-graduate certificate in Independent Prescribing for Optometrists.

After meeting a particularly charming West-Country man 6 years ago Rebecca migrated across the Severn bridge and has resided very happily in the Mendip area ever since. Of course being Welsh she is an avid Rugby fan and during any international match she is easily recognisable at her local pub for sporting the only red shirt in the house!

Tracy

Tracy

Manager & Eyewear Advisor

Tracy worked for Tesco on the customer service desk for many years before joining us in 2014. In her spare time she enjoys walking and travel, particularly to the USA.

Nikisha

Nikisha

Audiologist and Hearing Aid Consultant

Nikisha has been a fully qualified audiologist for more than seven years, having graduated from the University of Bristol in Summer 2012. After gaining her degree, she worked as part of a fantastic NHS team in Bath for two years, which greatly developed her clinical expertise.

Following her time in the NHS, Nikisha wanted to broaden her knowledge further, and so five years ago moved into the private sector, where she has been able to continue to build her extensive skillset.

“I decided to venture out and join the team at The Hearing Care Partnership because they are renowned for delivering great customer service and great technology to their clients, which is something I wanted to be part of. In addition, working alongside optical practice teams was an intriguing proposition, and a whole new experience for me.

“When I’m not at work, I love to spend time with my daughter. I also really enjoy a good mystery or crime book – Harlan Coben is one of my favourite authors!”
