Atlantic Home Eyecare
Optician in Barnstaple, Devon
Our business specialises exclusively in delivering high-quality eye examinations and optical services directly within our patients homes. Operating across the Southwest for over ten years, we have developed a service that is both thorough and considerate, supporting individuals who are unable to attend a traditional opticians practice. From the initial consultation to the completion of spectacle dispensing, every aspect of the eyecare journey is managed by experienced professionals. We also coordinate any necessary referrals, ensuring continuity of care while maintaining a calm and unhurried approach during each visit.We understand the importance of accessible eyecare and are committed to making professional services available to those with limited mobility. For the majority of our patients, NHS funding contributes towards the cost of a domiciliary examination, helping to remove financial barriers. Our coverage extends across many parts of the Southwest, and we are always willing to accommodate patients who fall just outside our regular areas, subject to availability. Our registered opticians are highly trained for home environments and take pride in providing a flexible, personalised service. By combining clinical excellence with a local, patient-focused ethos, we ensure that eyes remain well cared for in the comfort of home.

My wife suffers from Frontal Temporal Dementia and has great difficulty in communicating. Recently she complained of an issue with her left eye although could not explain the problem in any detail. I contacted Atlantic Home Eyecare as they had given my wife an eye test at the care home last year. I was present when Kevin and Ben arrived. I was so impressed with the gentle way they spoke to my wife to get her to comply with the requests to look up, open eyes etc and in obtaining certain responses to enable them to come to conclusions with reference to my wife's eyesight. Having tried to adjust with my wife's deterioration over the last 5 years and, in many cases, failed, to witness Kevin and Ben being so professional with such kindness and the utmost respect for my wife's condition left me feeling very humble.
Thank you Atlantic Home Eyecare.

Kevin and Ben were friendly, efficient and respectful. This is a wonderful service and I was amazed how every aspect of eye care from all the different tests to glasses selection is done in your own home. Highly recommended and thank you, gents, for all of your help.

The visit to my elderly mother was excellent. The two gentlemen were both professional and courteous and completed her eye exam in a friendly manner. A brilliant service for those with difficulty visiting premises away from home and also for anyone else! Thank you.

The service was appalling. After waiting for some time for appointment on their arrival they refused to outside my home even though all other services do so without any problems, from district nurses, home chiropractor, and builders. They expected neighbours to move their vehicle so they could use parking space. Wouldn't recommend them to anyone.

First time having a eye test at home and they were very thorough, very polite with excellent choice of frames, if the weather was better my glasses would have been with me right on time. If you need to have a eye test at home then I would recommend giving them a call.
