Meet the team

YOUR LOCAL OPTICIAN

Family-owned and run, you can expect to see the same friendly faces when you pop in – and the same dedication and care we’d extend to our own family members. You’ll never be just a number with us – so come in to see why our service is so unique.

Corsham Opticians has been an independent practice for over 60 Years, offering bespoke quality eye care, from caring and knowledgeable professionals.

We take great pride in providing accessible eye care for all, and offer a wide range of frames, lenses and contact lenses as well as a specialist low vision service.

Cilla has also worked for Moorfields Eye Hospital London preparing patients for refractive corneal surgery and lenticular replacement surgery. She runs the low vision clinic in Corsham Opticians assessing needs and supplying aids where appropriate. She has owned the practice since August 2016.

Fiona Curnow

Fiona is quite likely to be the first friendly face you see in Corsham Opticians as she runs our reception desk superbly. She is highly professional and polite but has a wicked sense of humour underneath! We are very fortunate to have her in the team keeping us all in order.

Mel is a qualified Dispensing Optician and is a self-confessed nerd of optics! She loves the role and is always looking for new exciting frames and discussing lenses in depth. When Mel is not here at Corsham Opticians she is a qualified Reflexologist with a keen interest in cancer care. She also is a fund raiser for men’s mental health as an ambassador for Wiltshire Mind.
