About Us

ABOUT US

YOUR EYE HEALTH IS OUR
TOPMOST PRIORITY

A&A Eyecare is your trusted local opticians in Whitley Bay, built from the ground up by Maheen Ahmed, an independent optometrist with a Professional Certificate in Glaucoma and specialist training in minor eye conditions and cataract management.

We opened our doors with a simple aim: to bring genuinely thorough, unhurried eye care back to the local community — the kind where you’re seen by the same familiar faces, not shuffled through a corporate rota.

Whether you need a comprehensive NHS or private eye exam, help managing a long-term eye condition, or simply expert advice on finding the right frames, our team takes the time to get it right. We offer a curated range of frames to suit every budget and style, and we can visit you at home if getting to us isn’t easy.
