Coton & Hamblin has 2 practices located in Blackheath and Woolwich, SE London.
We are one of the oldest independents in London and our longevity is due to our patient care provided by our dedicated and committed staff.
Coton & Hamblin was founded by Inventor and Entrepreneur Theodore Hamblin in 1904 and has continued to embrace new technology and advances in eye care and eye wear throughout our history.
Within our eye care we have had Optomap equipment since 2008 and OCT since 2011. We have always offered our patients the best we can and as well as all the technology we also give our patients time with longer appointments.
We are part of the Minor Eye Conditions Scheme and as well as the usual MECS. Cataract refinement and post operative care, we also provide the Children’s Vision Screening, Learning Disabilities and Hydroxychloroquine Screening.
At both practices we recommend myopia management using Stellest spectacles lenses and CooperVision Misight.
At Woolwich, we also fit and dispense Ortho K- night lenses. In the Woolwich practie we also have our specialist Dry Eye Clinic – this is using the latest research in Ocual Surface disease and we offer IPL (intense pulsed light) and LLLT (Low Level Light Therapy) treatments along with ocular hygiene clinics.
This role will be required to work across both practices;
- Blackheath, 178 Westcombe Hill, Blackheath Standard, SE3 7DH
- Woolwich, 11 Wellington Street, Woolwich, SE18 6PQ
The Style Part – we have a variety of spectacles from many suppliers – from individual independent brands to more well known high street designers. We have restarted Style Event days where we showcase the entire range from one supplier so all the colours, shaped and sizes are on display for our patient to choose from.
Lenses – to provide optimum vision we use Essilor lenses and have the visioffice measuring equipment to provide highly accurate measurements so all parts of the lenses provide exceptional clarity and comofortable vision.
Contact Lenses – we are able to order from all suppliers and are growing our Ortho-K Night lenses and just starting to fit more complex scleral lenses.
So, if you are after a new role and want to have a varied day with a mix of patients and eye care needs and solutions, please apply.
