Together we are Blink

Our patients are at the heart of everything we do

There has been an optical practice at 80 Henderson Street, Bridge of Allan for over 60 years. Optometrist Laura Clancy and Dispensing Practice Manager Mandy McCann bought over the practice in February 2022 and it was re-born as Blink.

Laura and Mandy have both worked in the practice since 2008 and pride themselves in providing high-quality eyecare and eyewear in a professional, relaxed and friendly environment.

At Blink we are a local and independent business and you can look forward to truly personalised care, where we use the latest optical technology, high quality spectacle and contact lenses, and offer a wide range of eyewear brands.

We put patients at the heart of everything we do, and nothing brings us more satisfaction than seeing our patients leave with a smile on their face and that peace of mind that comes from having received the best quality eyecare and advice.

At Blink we offer:

  • eye examinations for everyone

  • a full contact lens service and a vast range of contact lenses 

  • advanced Optical Coherence Tonography (OCT) scans to thoroughly assess your eye health in more detail
