About Simon Berry Optometrist
Simon Berry Optometrist is an independent eyecare practice based at The Jam Pot on Marshall Terrace in the Gilesgate area of Durham. It provides patient-centred eye examinations for all ages, contact lens services and frame fitting, alongside hearing care, offering a rounded service to its local community.
The practice is notable for its specialist support for patients with learning disabilities and autism, including adapted approaches to make eye examinations more accessible, as well as low-vision aids. This focus on inclusive, considered care sets it apart from larger high-street chains and reflects its standing as a genuinely independent local optometrist.
