Ellis Bass is an independent optometrist practice at 25 High Street, Barkingside, looking after patients across Ilford and Redbridge. We offer NHS & private eye examinations, glasses and contact lenses, myopia management for children, and hearing care in partnership with The Hearing Care Partnership.

Our eye examinations check how clearly you see and the health of your eyes. They can pick up conditions like glaucoma, cataracts and macular degeneration early. We offer NHS eye tests for those who qualify, as well as private examinations.
Hearing care in partnership with The Hearing Care Partnership. Book a free hearing test at our Barkingside practice with a qualified audiologist, and get advice on hearing aids and protecting your hearing.

We fit and supply a wide range of contact lenses, including daily disposables, toric lenses for astigmatism, ortho-k (overnight) lenses and coloured lenses. New to contact lenses? We’ll teach you how to wear and care for them.

NHS eye tests are free for children under 16. We see children of all ages, from toddlers to teenagers, and keep appointments relaxed and child-friendly. If your child is becoming more short-sighted, we can talk you through myopia control.

Myopia (short-sightedness) often gets worse as children grow. We offer options that aim to slow its progression, including ortho-k, specialised spectacle lenses and soft contact lenses, and we’ll explain what suits your child, what to expect and the costs.

Red, sore or sticky eyes, or new flashes and floaters? We can assess and advise on minor eye problems. NHS-funded appointments are available if your GP surgery is in North East London, and private appointments are available for everyone else. Please call us first.

Frames to suit every style and budget, from everyday value to designer brands, with high-quality lenses including varifocals and thinner, lighter options. Every pair is fitted and adjusted in practice, and we’re happy to tweak them afterwards.

Broken arm, loose screw or bent frame? Pop in and we’ll do our best to repair your glasses, whether or not you bought them from us. Charges apply.
We always like to see our clients, so feel free to visit during normal business hours.
