Contact lenses

We offer a contact lens consultation following a regular eye examination. If you opt for contact lenses there are a wide range of lenses that are available to suit your lifestyle and the consultation will help to decide which is the best type and the best fit.

Help and advice

During your eye test we can offer help and advice on any eye problems that you have or that we identify. If we think you need to see a specialist, then we will refer you to one. And if you want to pop into the shop for a bit of advice you are always welcome.

Lenses

Everyone’s eyes are different. That’s why our lenses for glasses are tailored to your individual needs, and not just your prescription. At Askew Eyewear in N16 we’ll ask about your lifestyle as well as testing your eyes and help you find the very best solution for your prescription lenses.

We don’t think anyone in our community should have to face going hungry. That’s why we are proud to be a collection point for the Hackney Foodbank.

You can come along anytime and donate food and help combat poverty and hunger in Hackney.
