Quality eyewear & personal service

Established since 1993

DKO Independent Opticians

About Us

DKO has been part of Somerton since David Kneebone opened the practice in 1993. Today, 30 years later, we still work with the same principles of quality products and first-class care and service.

Why fully private?

The move to private funding has enabled us to provide an even greater level of care and service to our patients than ever before. By allowing up to an hour for each appointment we never have to feel rushed and by investing in state-of-the-art 3D-Oct retinal scanning technology which can aid in the early detection of eye conditions such as age-related macular degeneration, Glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy, your eyes have never been in safer hands.
