Expert eyecare in the heart of Edinburgh's Southside
Independent Opticians in Edinburgh
A new name, with the same commitment to exceptional eye care.
Formerly P & A Eyecare, Southside Eyecare marks a new chapter in our history while staying true to everything our patients have always valued. We continue to offer thoughtful, personalised eye care, combining advanced clinical technology with the warmth and familiarity of an independent practice in the heart of Edinburgh's Southside.
Whether you're visiting us for a routine eye examination, choosing new eyewear or looking for expert advice, we'll always take the time to understand your needs and provide care that's tailored to you.

Personal eye care without the rush
We believe healthcare should never feel hurried.
That's why we give every patient the time to ask questions, understand their eye health and make informed decisions about their vision. From helping children see clearly at school to supporting lifelong eye health, we're here whenever you need us.
Our
values
Everything we do is guided by four simple principles.
Personal by nature
We take the time to listen, understand your needs and provide care that's tailored to you.
Part of the community
As a proud Southside practice, we're part of the local community and value the relationships we build with our patients.
Curated with purpose
From our eyewear collection to the lenses we recommend, every product has been chosen for its quality, craftsmanship and performance.
Clinical excellence
We combine experienced clinical care with advanced technology to help protect your vision now and for the future.


Looking after your eye health
Regular eye examinations are about much more than updating your prescription.
Our comprehensive appointments allow us to assess both your vision and the health of your eyes, using advanced technology including OCT eye scans and iCare tonometry to build a detailed picture of your eye health.
Whether you're due a routine examination or have noticed changes in your vision, we're here to help you see clearly and look after your eyes for years to come.
Eyewear chosen with purpose
We believe choosing glasses should be an enjoyable experience.
Our collection has been carefully curated for its design, craftsmanship and quality, bringing together distinctive independent brands from around the world. Rather than overwhelming you with endless choice, we'll guide you through a collection we've selected because we genuinely believe in it.
Our relaxed, collaborative approach means you'll leave with eyewear that suits both your vision and your personal style.
