Our Story

Richard Fantom Eyecare opened in 2014 with a simple idea: to provide the kind of eye care we would want for our own family and friends. That principle still guides everything we do today, from outstanding clinical care to genuine, personal service.

We began as a small practice with a small team, but from the outset, we’ve been committed to using the best available technology to benefit our patients. We have always believed the most effective form of marketing is happy patients, and we are proud that so many people come to us through personal recommendation.

In 2024, we expanded into the neighbouring premises, doubling the size of the practice. This has allowed us to create a brighter, more spacious environment, with improved comfort and privacy for every patient.

Technology with a Human Touch

We continue to invest in leading-edge eye care technology, but always with a clear purpose: better care for you.

Our consulting room is exceptionally well equipped, yet the experience remains calm, welcoming and accessible for both adults and children.

Every routine eye examination includes advanced imaging such as OCT and Optomap scans, allowing us to gain detailed insight into your eye health and provide clear, confident advice.

A Complete, Joined-Up Approach

Our opticians serve the Warwickshire and Worcestershire communities and believe that every step matters, from examination and diagnosis through to glasses frame selection, measurement, lens design and final fitting.

Our experienced team will guide you throughout, ensuring nothing is overlooked and that you feel confident in every decision.

Based in the centre of Bidford-on-Avon, we are here to make exceptional eye care straightforward and accessible.
