Roger Pope Opticians first opened on New Cavendish Street in 1987. The Managing Director, Priti Kotecha, joined the team after gaining extensive experience in luxury eyewear. Roger Pope Opticians has grown from strength to strength and now has one of the most experienced clinical teams, including dispensing opticians and optometrists. A proud milestone for the team was the recent awarding of new Royal Warrants of Appointment to His Majesty King Charles III and Her Majesty Queen Camilla.

This prestigious honour dates back to 2006, when Roger Pope Opticians received its first Royal Warrant, granted by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, followed by the Royal Warrant of Appointment  to His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales in 2014. Priti attributes the success of the practice to her excellent staff, who deliver the best bespoke solutions, for which it is renowned.

As an independent optician in a market increasingly dominated by larger chains, Roger Pope Opticians stands apart. The practice is committed to creating a welcoming environment within traditional but luxury surroundings. The focus is on personal service, ensuring every client receives correctly fitted frames and accurately prescribed lenses. Advanced eye examinations are conducted using the latest diagnostic technology, including a 3D Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) camera. This allows our optometrist to take a 3D cross-sectional scan of the inside of the eye, allowing for more precise information regarding early signs of retinal disease and macular degeneration.

There is also an optical laboratory on site with a fully equipped glazing facility, so the team can ensure that spectacles are crafted to the highest standards. For clients seeking something extra special, Roger Pope Opticians offers a unique collection of luxury eyewear (for example, Cartier, Lotos, Chanel, Bulgari and Hoffmann). These  are crafted from the finest materials, including 18K white and yellow gold, platinum, diamonds, natural horn and titanium. Roger Pope Opticians serves clients from around the world who appreciate the relaxed and discreet atmosphere. The team looks forward to welcoming new clients to the practice.
