Visit Unia Opticians and discover why patients have trusted us with their eye health for over four decades.
Step into a calmer, more personal approach to eye care. At Unia Opticians, every appointment is designed around you, unhurried, attentive, and genuinely tailored.
No busy shop floors, no rushed decisions just expert care in a welcoming, private setting. We believe your eye care should be an experience that leaves you feeling valued, informed, and confident. Our approach reflects our commitment to treating every patient as an individual, not a number.
Since 1983, Unia Opticians has been a trusted name in Central London’s optical community. For over 40 years, we’ve built our reputation on clinical excellence, personalised service, and genuine care for our patients.
What began as a local independent practice has grown into a respected establishment, serving generations of families who return to us time and again. Our long-standing presence in the community is a testament to the relationships we’ve built and the trust we’ve earned through consistent, exceptional care.
Your eyes deserve more than a routine test. Our comprehensive examinations combine advanced diagnostic technology with professional expertise to assess both your vision and overall eye health. We look beyond prescriptions, helping detect early signs of serious conditions and giving you complete peace of mind. From OCT scanning and Optomap imaging to specialist services like myopia control and dry eye management, we invest in the technology and training that makes a real difference to your eye health.
As an independent optician, we curate a collection of distinctive frames you won’t find everywhere else. From refined classics to bold, design-led pieces, every option is chosen for quality, comfort, and individuality. Paired with tailored lens solutions, your eyewear is made to fit your life — not the other way around. Our expert frame stylists take time to understand your preferences, lifestyle, and facial features, ensuring you find eyewear that looks exceptional and performs beautifully.

What a seamless experience! I needed new prescription lenses fitted into an old frame, so popped by and was taken care of immediately. The whole team was incredibly welcoming, professional, and genuinely lovely. Their customer service was fantastic, and they did an excellent job. I’ll definitely be returning 🙂
This place has the nicest staff I’ve ever met. My lens fell out of my glasses and because I need glasses I could fix it! They put the lens back in, tightened the rest of the [tiny] screws and even cleaned the lenses. Took minutes and they didn’t want payment but I insisted. First time in a long time that I wished I live in London because they’d be my people. Thanks.
I had an outstanding experience at UNIA for my daughter’s first eye test. The team was incredibly professional, polite, and understanding, ensuring she felt comfortable throughout the process. They worked at her pace, making the experience enjoyable. I highly recommend UNIA for their exceptional customer care!
Thank you ❤️
I visited the shop a few weeks ago, and what a delightful find. A lovely independent shop with an amazing niche selection of frames. The service was simply outstanding by both Jenny and Amber. They were really helpful and gave great advice. Jenny, you are absolutely right…prescription lenses on sunglasses are simply the best thing ever 😎. Thank you for all your help, girls!
