The practice

The practice

Independent, and glad to be

Northsight is owned and run on Gosforth High Street. No head office, no sales targets, just one team who get to know you.

Bright, welcoming interior of the practice

What independent means

Run by the people who test your eyes

Priya owns the practice and tests eyes here every week. That means no ten minute slots and no pressure to buy, just a proper look and honest advice.

You see the same faces each visit. That is how we get to know your eyes, and how we catch changes early.

The team

Who you will meet

A small team you will see again each visit.

Priya Nair

Priya has tested eyes for 15 years and has a special interest in dry eye. She owns the practice and runs it her way.

Mark Simmons

Dispensing optician

Mark fits and dispenses every pair of glasses, from budget frames to designer lines, and makes sure your lenses sit right.

Joan

Front of house

Joan has looked after the front desk for 22 years. If you have been to Northsight, you know Joan.

Every eye test

40 minutes, every single test

Not ten. Not a conveyor belt. Time enough to check your eyes properly.
