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.

What an amazing practice. Everyone was so friendly and knowledgeable.Posted on Francis Mackie12 April 2026 I recently visited CG Optical in Stratford-upon-Avon for the first time, having chosen them because they are a family-run opticians and stockists of Kirk & Kirk frames. From the outset, the service was professional and welcoming. I did experience some difficulty adjusting to my new lenses; however, the team handled the situation with great care and professionalism. Emily took the time to understand the issue and ensured it was fully resolved, making sure I was completely satisfied with the outcome. It’s clear they genuinely care about their customers and take pride in providing a high level of service. I would happily recommend CG Optical to others and look forward to returning for my next eye test when it is due.Posted on stephanie clark31 March 2026 Excellent service, friendly, knowledgeable staffPosted on Helen Williams17 March 2026 First time customer of CG Optical.

And some very helpful explanations and general advice about my eye health. Would definitely recommend.Posted on Ren Jones13 March 2026 I've had a great experience at CG Optical. The team are thorough, friendly, professional and the place itself is more glamorous than the average opticians. In addition to an eye test, I also had a full course of dry eye treatment with Vanisha which has brought me a lot of relief. Highly recommend.Posted on Cordelia Christopher23 February 2026 Wonderful care from the moment I stepped through the door. Thorough examination of my eyes with everything explained really well.
