Since opening her Independent Optometry Practice in 2002, Sinead McGurk Opticians has become synonymous with outstanding eye care in Magherafelt, Northern Ireland. Quality, precision, and meticulous attention to detail, are core values we live by. You’ll see these values reflected throughout our National AOP Award Winning Practice. Our clinical excellence; our state of the art technology; our superior service; and our unrivalled collections of quality frames from around the world, is what sets us apart from other average opticians, and enables us to be the best provider of EyeCare and EyeWear in the locality. This is a carefully curated optometry experience which we have striven over the years to perfect. Our focus is entirely on each patient as an individual, with unique needs. The experience starts with the warm welcome you receive the moment you arrive, and continues with the highest level of clinical expertise, discussed and fully explained to you by our experienced Optometrist during your appointment. Having listened to your concerns, the Optometrist and Dispensing Optician will expertly advise you, when selecting lenses, and frames, from our carefully sourced, hand picked, niche eyewear collections. The end product is a perfect frame and lens combination, to advance your quality of vision, and life in the 21st Century digital era.
AOP PRACTICE OF THE YEAR We are the ONLY Optometry Practice in the whole of Ireland to have won the prestigious and coveted Association of Optometrists Practice of the Year Award. This is THE highest accolade that an Optometry practice can achieve, and we view it as accreditation/validation of our ethos in delivering our services. We are very proud of this outstanding achievement. Read the Award citation: "The practice is spacious with a stylish interior. It exudes an aura of calm, and gives the client confidence that Sinead McGurk Opticians are professional, and can deliver their services with flair. The owner has considered everything which is pertinent in the patient's Optometry experience; this is of the highest standard. The practice’s small but dedicated team are outstanding. They develop a professional relationship with clients in a friendly, welcoming manner, ensuring that they can fulfil their requirements with products and services, whilst paying attention to detail at all times."
We also are winners of the Randox Healthcare Optometry Practice of the Year Award.
Latest State of the Art Technology Investments: In 2021, despite the Pandemic, we continue to strive to advance our skills and technical advancements, to push the boundaries for our clients, and stay ahead in our profession. Our latest investment is the Zeiss 'Visufit 1000' futuristic eyewear dispensing technology. (See our blog and video). This is so technically advanced, it can take measurements across 45 million points on the front surface of the selected frame, giving us TRUE precision engineering of your finished lens! We will also be making further investments in the latest technology available for eye examinations in the near future.
Judge's Comment - What Makes a Winner (AOP Awards 2018) :“A winner should be passionate about what they do, allowing that passion to spill over so that it is evident for all to see.”
