Welcome to Scott Brown Optician & Eyecare

Established and operated
by qualified optometrist
Scott Brown

Established in 2008 in East Kilbride, Scott G Brown Opticians’ goal is to offer quality eyecare and eyewear to suit every budget, ensuring we offer solutions to every patient at a price they are comfortable with in a friendly, welcoming environment.

In 2021 David Wyse Opticians, Johnstone, was bought by Scott G Brown Opticians and underwent an extensive a refit in early April 2024 to update the practice. The ethos of a no-pressure sales environment will mirror that of our East Kilbride practice

In April 2024 we invested over £150,000 updating both practices to include the most up-to-date hospital-quality equipment and deliver the highest possible eyecare under the NHS. The vast majority of eye tests in Scotland are free to UK residents although some exceptions apply. Contact us to check your eligibility for a free test if you are unsure.

Our optometrist, Scott Brown, qualified in 1995. He worked at Dollond & Aitchison Opticians East Kilbride where he was closely involved with the pre-registration programme, helping future opticians in their final year of studies. He also supervised the 4th year optometry-degree clinic at Caledonian University from 2001-2008.  In 2008 he left the multiple optician market as he felt it was becoming a sales and target-driven environment where the needs of the patient was becoming secondary to turnover and profits.

Keen to continually improve the quality of eyecare offered to his patients, Scott completed the rigorous qualification process to become an independent prescribing optometrist in 2023, allowing him to prescribe any ocular medication.

He vowed on opening his own practice his staff would never be given sales targets or encouraged to promote unnecessary coatings or add-ons, something he continues to be passionate about today.
