Meet Your Optometrist
Meet Salim
Salim qualified as an Optometrist in 1993, driven by a simple but powerful goal: to change lives. Over the past 30+ years, he’s done just that — helping patients see more clearly and building Eye Emporium into a group known for delivering exceptional care.
What Salim loves most about optometry is seeing the real, tangible difference it makes in people’s lives every day. One of his most memorable moments was during a charity trip to Iraq, where he met a widow who feared she was going blind. With the right pair of glasses, Salim was able to restore her sight — enabling her to keep working and support her family. Powerful stuff!
As well as being a passionate leader, Salim has a clinical interest in Myopia Management, helping to reduce long-term vision risks for younger patients.
He speaks English, Gujarati, Urdu, and even a bit of French (apparently!), and is always championing the fantastic service his team provides — proudly backed by five-star Trustpilot reviews.
When he’s not in the clinic or office, you’ll likely find him at the table tennis table, paddle in hand — and we hear he's a touch competitive!
Salim's top tip for eye health: "Don’t forget to blink — it helps reduce screen fatigue and eye strain".
What to expect from your eye test
Book an eye test-
1
First up, we'll take a look at the overall health of your eyes with some pre-checks. This will help us to identify common eye conditions like dry eye or glaucoma, as well as detect any underlying health issues like diabetes or high blood pressure.
-
2
Next up, we'll test your sight. We'll ask you questions about your general health & lifestyle to determine if anything is affecting your vision. We'll then perform a series of tests, such as asking you to read from the letter chart.
-
3
Finally, we'll give you some feedback about the health of your eyes and your visual needs. If glasses or contact lenses would help, we'll let you know and work with you to find the best solution to meet your personal needs. This is your chance to ask us plenty of questions too.
UPGRADE YOUR EYE TEST WITH AN OCT
Looking for complete peace of mind? We also offer OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) scans. The OCT scan creates a 3D image of the inside of your eye so we can measure the thickness of each layer of the retina. This quick, non-invasive scan can detect serious conditions earlier.
