Wiltshire opticians acquired by national firm

A Cricklade opticians has become part of the Bayfields Opticians and Audiologists’ family of market-leading businesses.

Andrew Rhŷs Evans Optometrists will now operate as Bayfields Cricklade. The existing team will remain at the practice with Suhail Umar as Dispensing Optician.

Clients in the Swindon area will have immediate access to Bayfields  services, with additional facilities, including audiology, to be rolled out out in the coming months.

Cricklade residents will be able to take advantage of free hearing tests and trials of hearing solutions available, as well as its own high quality contact lens service. Clients will also benefit from 45 minute eye appointments, which are longer than the industry’s standard appointment to allow for a more thorough examination of eye health and vision.

Bayfields Opticians and Audiology Cricklade will also offer its range of industry-leading lenses and smart lenses to clients, as well as provide access to advanced OCT scans – eye examinations designed to identify health issues even before any symptoms appear.

Founded in 2004, Bayfields has grown from a leading name in optical health provision across Yorkshire to a national brand known for its family and community values.

Suhail Umar, dispensing optician at Cricklade Bayfields Opticians and Audiologists, said: “Cricklade residents have been fortunate to have access to a high-quality optometrist service for many years, and we’re looking forward to building on this offering by combining the expertise and experience of the existing team with the personalised service and cutting-edge services Bayfields is known for.

“We’re excited to welcome clients old and new into the practice, getting to know each and every one of them and taking the time to find the right hearing or eyecare solution to meet their lifestyle.”
