A bit of history

Zeiss Opticians has been run by the Barke family since 1985. Under the guidance of Basil Barke, Alan’s father, Zeiss Opticians was established in Tewkesbury in 1985 and Stratford upon Avon in 1995 with the collaboration of ZEISS Germany. The goal was to provide exclusively ZEISS product using the most advanced technology of its time, to conduct the best eye examination possible.

“with our continued partnership with ZEISS we will be refitting our premises in the February 2020, celebrating 25 years in Stratford-upon-Avon” Alan Barke

The folk at the shop couldn't have been more helpful, they helped with new lenses, they spent ages to source frames for me along with several other alternative frames, nothing was too much trouble. They even fixed my wife's damaged frame and wouldn't charge! The best service and experience we've had with opticians

Very good and efficient service. They fixed one of my old frames and I could not be happier. They knew exactly what was wrong with them. I will definitely be using them again!

While visiting Stratford I had a problem with my glasses. I called at the shop 'on spec' and was seen immediately. My glasses were repaired and fully serviced free of charge!!!! If I lived in Stratford Vision + Eyecare would be my opticians.
