Visit to Tom Davies factory
Andrew and Michael visited the London factory of Tom Davies, the handmade spectacle frame manufacturer, in June 2025. Here they viewed the manufacturing process and designed their own frames. These will be finished soon and available for any of our patients, in whatever size or colour required. Please make an appointment if you would like to view these custom made frames or any of the Tom Davies collection.
