Sadly as of December 2024, Soulsby Opticians in Llanishen is closing.
We know that Soulsby’s had a long standing, loyal patient base and many of you may be wondering where to go for your next eye examinations. The good news is that we have been approached by the owner of Soulsby Opticians to take over the trusted care of their loyal patients so your records have been safely and confidentially transferred to us.
Our practice in Llanishen is just around the corner from Soulsby’s, next to St Isan’s Church on Heol Hir. We are located opposite the dentist and between the church and church hall.
Pearce & Blackmore Opticians was established in Pentwyn in 2012 and is owned and run by Clare Pearce (Optometrist) and Francesca Blackmore (Practice Manager). Collectively, we have over 40 years experience in optics and we are the current Independent Practice of the Year, having won this accolade very recently – in late November 2024. Last year we also won the Social Media Practice of the Year award.
We are an eco friendly practice and recently won the Sustainability Award at the Optician Awards. We have also won the highest possible accolade from the Greener Primary Care Wales awards framework for the last two years in a row.
We are passionate about what we do and always aim to provide the best clinical and personal care to all our patients. We have two practices in Cardiff and you will always see the same people on each visit. We have qualifications in British Sign Language and can conduct examinations in BSL. We are also a Dementia Friendly practice, and you can learn more about our practice here.
The practice has both modern equipment including an OCT scanner and a varied range of frames ranging from classic styles to unusual, stand-out frames. We are able to offer routine sight tests, emergency eye examinations, low vision assessments and onward referrals.
Francesca writes a monthly column for Optician Magazine and in 2022, Clare was named Optometrist of the Year at the UK Optician Awards. To read more about Clare Pearce, please click here and to find out more about Francesca Blackmore, please click here.
We have written to all of the patients on the database given to us by Soulsby’s and we will write again when your eye examination is due.
We would love to welcome you at one of our practices and if you’re noticing any issues with your eyes or vision, or if you know you’re due and ready to book an eye examination with us, you can call us on 029 2075 4314, email us at [email protected] or you can use our online booking system by clicking the link below.
