About Us
T. English Opticians Limited is a family owned independent opticial practice based in Rotherham, South Yorkshire. Established in 1978 in the heart of the town centre and now residing in the bustling centre of Wickersley.
We are committed to quality ,value and personal service, offering private and NHS eye care using the latest diagnostic equipment.
Our frames are personally selected from some of the most desirable brands on the market, as well as niche collections from lesser known designers, so whether you need a cutting edge or more contempory look we have it covered.
We are proud to have built a reputation on offering our patients individual care in a friendly, relaxed environment. Which is why so many of our customers visit us by recommendation.
At T English Opticians Limited we are meticulous in our approach to eye care and allow a generous length of time for your eye examination. Equipped with the latest technology including an OCT scanner, great care is taken in providing a thorough check on the health and status of your eyes.
If an optical correction is necessary we will discuss your individual visual needs to ensure that the prescription satisfies your requirements. If it’s spectacles, contact lenses or both our friendly team can advise you.
We pride ourselves on giving a personal service to our clients. We are a family run business, we see many clients again and again at their next scheduled eye test. This allows us to build up an excellent client relationship. This doesn’t happen now in the large chains due to a high turnover of staff and no continuity of care.
Age related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma and vitreous detachments are examples of conditions that can be detected with the OCT.
Quick, painless and non-invasive, it uses light waves to take a cross section of the back of the eye.

GOOD Based on 10 reviews Posted on N Harvey15 March 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly recommend. Professional, family run business where nothing is too much trouble! We are always made to feel very welcome and our children look forward to going as the staff are so lovely and down to earth. Thank you and see you again soon!Posted on Simone Robey20 May 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After searching the local area for an opticians that did the specialist dyslexia eye test I found T English. I rang up and they managed to get my son in the next day. The staff were helpful and friendly explaining everything thoroughly and putting my son at ease. Very professional would highly recommend 😁Posted on Kim Russell20 March 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent service. Although I didn't purchase my current glasses from here, they managed to fit me in on the same day I rang and sort out the issues with my uncomfortable wonky frames (terrible adjustments from a different opticians) I will still need to buy new glasses as they can only be adjusted so far (again, the fault of my previous opticians) I will definitely be buying them from here.Posted on Mandy21 August 2021Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Always friendlyPosted on Joanne Lascelles30 September 2019Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Visited this evening. Staff were extremely helpful and the service was second to none!!! The examination was by far the most thorough examination I have had. Would highly recommend. I wouldn't go anywhere else!!Posted on Jennifer Venton3 May 2019Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. An excellent professional service I’ve used for around 30 years . All staff are friendly helpful and very professional. Always very helpfull and explain things extremely well . They always explain any options you may have . I also have a son with additional needs including autism and sensory issues . They take their time to explain things to him and minimise his anxieties. I would highly recommend their services .Posted on rachel richardson-freeman7 March 2018Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent service.I was lucky enough to have these take me on after an infection and a visit to Gp and a few attendances to eye casualty. I was invited to be seen, given a thorough examination, confirmed and allergic reaction , new ointment given, review 3 days later, the optician telephone referred me there and then to the hospital ophthalmology department where I was seen the next day.. A membrane was removed from my eye and again a few days later, I’m almost back to normal ( have an appt tomorrow) I seriously don’t know what would have happened if they had not took over my care x Outstanding, caring service! A million thankyous
