About Us
Our Story
Norville & Dobinson Opticians was formed in 2020 following the merger of two long established independent opticians in Downend.
Norville Opticians have been serving the people of Downend for more than 30 years, and Adrian Dobinson Opticians for nearly 20 years. We decided that we would be a stronger independent practice if we worked together, and from this, Norville & Dobinson was created.
The combined staff from the two practices bring a wealth of experience and knowledge of the local area. We have also incorporated the practice of Jonathan Best Opticians and look forward to welcoming new patients to us.
Following the merger, we have completed an extensive practice expansion and refit and now have a lovely, spacious practice, with state of the art equipment and a great range of eyewear, enabling us to care for all your eyecare needs.
When you come and visit us, you can expect a warm welcome and a friendly, professional service.
We can use the latest technology to care for your eyes with an eye exam tailored to you. Our wide range of spectacle frames means there is something to suit every face and every pocket.
We are always pleased to see long established clients, but also welcome new patients.
Feel free to pop in, give us a call or book an appointment through this website.
