Exclusively from Christopher Young Opticians, EyeCare Plan is a unique service offering members unlimited eyecare.
We will treat you like a human being, and we will take the time to get to know you. Only this way can we ensure that we are fulfilling our obligation to you to help you make the most of your vision.
Due to COVID we are making sure we are keeping everyone safe. Entry to the practice is only by appointment, and we ask you to arrive promptly. Sanitisers are available throughout the premises and we will keep you separate from other clients.
This, however, will not impede the quality of care and attention you receive. In fact, it enhances it by allowing us to give you our undivided attention. Whether during the eye examination with the optometrist, or during a styling consultation.

On arrival you will be greeted by a member of the practice team. We need to check that we have the correct details for you on file and you will be asked to wait in the reception area. The optometrist seeing you will collect you from the reception area and take you through to the examination rooms. The sight test takes between 45 and 60 minutes and if you decide you would like to consider new eyewear your optometrist will introduce you to your Eyewear Advisor.
Your Eyewear Advisor will offer advice and answer your questions, as well as recommending Eyewear styles and lenses across a range of prices. You are never under any pressure or obligation to buy anything. We are here to help.

Excellent service. My glasses (from somewhere else) broke. I could hardly see without them. The staff at Christopher Young Opticians sorted it out for me in record time with great care and attention

Exclusively from Christopher Young Opticians, EyeCare Plan is a unique service offering members unlimited eyecare.
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.
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!
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.
Optical Assistant and Vision Therapist
Tanis also works on the front desk in the practice. She is responsible for meeting and greeting our clients, answering the phone and performing administrative duties. She job shares with Steph. Tanis moved to Somerset with her family 4 years ago. She has extensive experience in customer service and enjoys running and walking.
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!”
Optical Assistant
Kay has had many years of customer service, both in retail and Doctor’s surgeries. She is happiest when walking in the Somerset countryside with her dog.
Eyewear Stylist and Dry Eye Technician
Eloise joined us from another High Street Optical practice. She has been trained as an optical assistant and clinical technician and is supporting Tracy with Styling Consultations as well as helping to run our Dry Eye Clinics
