Discover designer eyewear at Whiffens
Nestled in the heart of Ashley Cross, Whiffens Opticians proudly stands as “the eyes of Parkstone in the heart of Ashley Cross.” With a warm, patient-centred approach, the practice is dedicated to looking after your eyes and feeling great with it, combining expert eye care with stylish, confidence-boosting eyewear.
Eye health & testing
At Whiffens, eye health means more than just checking your prescription. Their comprehensive eye examinations include assessments for conditions such as glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration, as well as checks for systemic issues like diabetes and high blood pressure. Using advanced retinal imaging and OCT scanning, their optometrists can detect early signs of change long before they affect your vision. Whether you’re a new patient or a long-time glasses wearer, you’ll receive professional, friendly guidance from test to frame selection.
Discover our designer frames
Style is just as important as clear sight — and Whiffens delivers. Their extensive range of designer frames features leading names including Versace, Prada, Dolce & Gabbana, Tom Ford, Ralph Lauren, Ray-Ban, and Gucci. From timeless classics to contemporary statement pieces, there’s something to suit every face and personality. If your perfect pair isn’t in stock, the team will happily order it in, and every frame is fitted, adjusted, and tested for lasting comfort.
Whiffens also offers a full selection of lenses — single-vision, bifocal, varifocal, tinted, photochromic, and contact lenses — along with both prescription and non-prescription sunglasses.
