Welcome to my opticians in Stratford upon Avon
When I opened the doors of Claire Gough Optical in 2018, I wanted to provide something a little bit special.
I wanted to create a boutique experience where patients get exceptional health care, eye tests, personalised style advice and an unrivalled choice of frames and lenses.
My team and I genuinely love what we do. There’s no better feeling than watching our patients grow in confidence knowing their eyes are in great shape and they look fabulous too.
And we’re constantly learning – updating our clinical knowledge and technology to provide the best experience and support and hearing tests. Whether you’re looking for complete eye care, or just to update your frames, we’re here for you.

The service was impeccable from start to finish. I walked in CG Optical suffering with very dry &gritty eyes for a quite a while, after my treatment it's brought me a lot of relief.
