Spectacles

We stock a wide variety of frames to suit different styles and budgets. Many frames are now made from titanium or titanium alloys, produce light strong spectacles that are easy to wear and are hypoallergenic. Lindberg are one of the first designers to use titanium successfully and are the winners of many design awards. The Lindberg Air Titanium range includes rimless, titanium wire and acetate models. With an enormous choice of lens shapes, sizes and colours these spectacles can be really unique.

Silhouette have a huge range - well know for their classic styles but more recently they introduced the Minima range of titanium and acetate rimless styles - the lightest frame available.

Spectacle Lenses

The choice of your lens is just as important as the choice of frame. The right lens will make your spectacle lighter to wearer, better in appearance and most importantly give good vision.
We use many different lenses depending on your prescription and visual needs. We are an Essilor Varilux specialist practice and also a Seiko stockist.

Sunglasses

At Trotters we have a separate sunglass department known as Suntrap. In Suntrap we stock a wide range of styles suitable for all occasions and budgets. Many sunglasses can be made up to a spectacle prescription and we will be happy to advise you on suitability depending on your prescription. The ranges change annually but favourites include:

  • Bolle
  • Oakley
  • Rayban
  • Gucci
  • Chanel

We also stock skiing goggles and prescription swimming goggles and can advise on other sports glasses such as golf tints, diving masks, children's sports goggles and many more.

Contact Lenses

Many people now are discovering just how easy modern contact lenses are and what a useful addition they can be for those times when spectacles are inconvenient. Lenses are available in many forms to suit most prescriptions and are very comfortable and affordable for either full time wear of occasional use.

Some of the recent developments in lenses are:

  • Varifocal contact lenses in monthly or daily disposable form
  • Extended wear silicone contact lenses that can be left in overnight for up to a month
  • Toric lenses to correct astigmatism now available in monthly disposable form in a wide range of prescriptions and just launched in daily disposable form for minus prescriptions.

If you've never worn lenses before but are interested in a trial talk to your optometrist about the options that are most suitable for you. If you have worn lenses in the past and have given up because of problems, we may be able to refit you successfully with a modern lens.
