As an independent practice owner, it can be lonely without support. That's where SightCare comes in - formed of like minded independent opticians, it is a great group of peers who help you through with support and guidance based on their own experiences. That doesn't stop there. John French and the management team are always ready to help and behind the scenes, organise many other services to help our businesses with for example: business insurance, utilities price comparison, merchant services comparison, patient feedback, business coaching to name a few. They also offer a buying group service for products, where they work with select suppliers ensuring good products to members.

We found the help given by SightCare outstanding. Their dedication is second to none and their artistic abilities in producing professional videos, social media content and their support to practises is highly impressive. During Covid they’ve been exceptional in the support of the Independent sector.
