About Us

Dr. Peter Frampton (Owner of Aarons) is proud to have been one of the first 30 Optometrists in the UK to become an Independent Prescribing (Medical) Optometrist. The ability to prescribe and treat directly, without a referral, is a fundamental change to clinical care in the community. To enable a complete patient journey, Peter only employs Medical (IP) Optometrists. Aarons remain the only practice in Northumberland to offer continuous access to Medical Optometrists, a valuable service.

Our commitment to enhancing community care is reflected not simply by this policy. Our track record for all our colleagues reflects ongoing training and clinical advancement. If you value care, please read more. Our extended qualifications are open for inspection.
