Your Local Independent Dispensing Optician

In 1993 I returned to Andover and worked for 6 years in 3 independent practices in Wiltshire. In 2000 I started work for Leightons Opticians in Andover and was appointed Manager in the same year and a Director of the company a year later. In 2006 I decided to start my own business and had intended to open an optical practice in Andover but I was pipped to the post by Vision Express. Instead I opened a B & B business which was phenomenally successful and surprisingly good fun. Alongside this I worked as a locum Optician in Surrey. I have always had a strong following of patients, friends and family who relied on me for optical dispensing and it was they who finally persuaded me to set up my own practice, Ringlands Optics.
