At Iconic Opticians, we are proud to be a family-run independent opticians serving Devon with care, expertise, and a personal touch. Our journey began with a simple belief: everyone deserves exceptional eye care without compromising on affordability or attention to detail.

How It All Started

After years of listening to patients, we noticed something special—people love supporting local independents for the personal service they provide, yet often feel tempted by the big-name offers from chain opticians. That’s why, in July 2015, we opened our first practice on Cornwall Street in Plymouth, bringing together the best of both worlds: friendly, tailored care with competitive prices.

We were thrilled to be the first independent opticians to open in Plymouth city centre since 1984—and we’re still the only one today! Since then, we’ve welcomed over 4,000 patients, from little ones aged 4 to our wonderful seniors at 98, helping everyone from straightforward sight needs to complex, custom-made prescriptions.

A Reputation Built on Care

Our focus has always been on outstanding customer service, and we’re honoured to hold 5-star reviews on Google and Facebook. Thanks to the trust of our patients, we’ve also been voted Best Opticians in Plymouth for four consecutive years by ThreeBestRated.co.uk—a recognition we truly cherish.

Growing With Our Community

Thanks to the loyalty and support of our patients, we’ve been able to expand:

  • February 2020: Opened our second branch on Plymstock Broadway, breathing new life into a previously empty unit.

  • October 2021: Took on a long-vacant shop in Tavistock’s Brook Street, fully refurbishing the space to create a welcoming new practice.

Every step of the way, we’ve chosen locations where we can make a difference—helping to revitalise high streets while bringing quality eye care to more communities across Devon.

Family Values, Professional Care

As a local, independent business, we treat every patient like family. Whether you’re here for a routine eye test, stylish new glasses, or specialist lens solutions, we’re committed to providing honest advice, affordable prices, and a service you can trust.

We’d love to welcome you into our Iconic family—book an appointment today and experience eye care, the independent way.
