About Lynne Fernandes Optometrists Wells Road
The South Bristol branch of Lynne Fernandes is situated on the bustling Wells Road in the Upper Knowle area of the city, bordering Totterdown. It is situated in an increasingly attractive area, joining many other independent shops and eateries serving the area including local produce stores, cafes and pizzerias.
Our Wells Road practice has recently undergone a thoughtful renovation, creating a brighter, more spacious environment where you can explore eyewear comfortably. This investment reflects our commitment to offering the very best in clinical eyecare and stylish eyewear. We want to ensure the environment matches the standard of care, expertise, and personal attention we provide to every patient.
Why visit our Wells Road Optometry Practice?
The branch is located in a popular retail area not far from Bristol Temple Meads station, and is accessible for locals as well as to visiting train travellers coming on foot.
There is parking available in front of the branch, offering those visiting by car the convenience of not having to search for parking places elsewhere. Good public transport connections between Wells Road and the city centre by bus offer a convenient option for customers coming from other parts of the city who may not have or want to use a car.
Inside, you’ll find a spacious and comfortable showroom with a very wide range of attractive frames on display, and you can expect a highly professional standard of service. Separate private facilities are used for eye tests, and we have some of the most advanced equipment available.
