A proudly family-led opticians in Woodford Green
From our family to yours: eyecare from a professional, highly skilled team with over 30 years’ experience.
We are a family-run opticians at the heart of the Woodford Green community. Founded over 35 years ago by Ralph Lasky, the practice continues to thrive, with Ralph’s daughter Jo now working alongside him. Many of our patients have been with us for generations, and we love welcoming new faces too.
When you visit us, you’ll find a warm and friendly atmosphere where we greet patients by name and take the time to get to know you. Your comfort and your long-term eye health matter to us, and we are always here with honest advice and genuine care.
Caring for eyes in our community
We provide eyecare for patients of all ages, from young children having their first eye examination to adults who have trusted us with their vision for many years. Appointments are relaxed, unhurried and tailored to you.
Our services include:
- NHS and private eye examinations
- Enhanced eye tests with OCT for added reassurance
- Emergency eyecare
- Myopia management for children
- Domiciliary eye examinations at home if visiting us is difficult
Your eye examination is about so much more than updating your prescription. We look carefully at the health of your eyes and consider your well being as a whole.
Eyewear that feels right for you
Choosing glasses should feel enjoyable, not stressful. We help you explore what suits your style, your comfort and your everyday life. Try on as many frames as you like, there is no rush and no pressure.
We also offer prescription sunglasses including Tiffany, Oakley, Ray-Ban, and sports eyewear, including personalised Oakley lenses for active lifestyles.
Choose contact lenses
We provide contact lenses for everyday convenience, sport and occasional wear. Whether you are brand new to lenses or experienced, we offer a caring, supportive fitting process and ongoing guidance.
Our contact lens plan makes life easier with:
- Home delivery
- Easy monthly payments
- Regular lens supply and aftercare
Children’s eyecare
We are proud to care for children’s vision as they grow. Our children’s appointments are gentle and straightforward, with clear explanations and plenty of encouragement. For families managing short-sightedness, our myopia management service can help protect long-term vision.
You hearing matters too!
We also support your hearing health with hearing tests, hearing aids and wax removal. Just like our eye care, our hearing service is personal and reassuring.
What our patients say about us
We are truly grateful for the kind words our patients share. Here are just a few:
"Never used this optician before. But in my hour of need with eye pain and no vision I was seen quickly, when my optician failed to accommodate! Resulted in a referral to WhippsX that morning. Thank you for seeing me and testing the affected eye, I'll be popping by in person to show my gratitude. If I weren't moving I would certainly have used you in the future."
— Janice Micallef
"Ralph and Jo have been looking after myself and the wife for many years and you would struggle to find a more professional and friendly service, they genuinely care about every aspect of the care they give."
— Barry Moulton
"I have been going to Scher and Lasky for a number of years and can honestly say they are a first class opticians, caring, attentive and their advice is second to none. They have spotted, actioned and resolved a few issues I have had with my eyes. So impressed, my family now use them. Can't thank you enough for the excellent service you provide."
— Christine Cording
