Why Choose Contact Lenses?
Many people find that contact lenses provide greater convenience and flexibility compared to spectacles. They offer:
- A wider field of vision, free from the frames of glasses
- The ability to participate in sports and outdoor activities with ease
- A great alternative for special occasions or everyday wear
- A discreet vision correction option without the need for glasses
Our experienced opticians will discuss your needs and help you choose the perfect lenses to suit your lifestyle.

Suitable For All
We understand that every patient is unique, and that’s why we provide a full range of contact lenses to suit different prescriptions and preferences. We fit both soft and gas-permeable lenses, including specialist options for complex prescriptions.
Our expertise extends to more advanced fittings—John Leeman has worked at the Southampton Eye Unit as a paediatric contact lens fitter and fits keratoconic lenses for Salisbury Eye Clinic. No matter your prescription, we’ll work with you to find a comfortable, effective solution.

What our patients say
Here's what other say about Silverthornes Opticians
"Been a Silverthorne’s patient/client for probably about 30 years. Always had excellent service, quality care and products. As an independent business in Salisbury, they get to know their clients optical history, which gives a continuity of care which you don’t get from a high street chain, where personnel are always changing. Don’t expect any cheap marketing offers - that’s not what this business is about."
— Helen Russell
"Friendly team and fantastic service. Nothing too much trouble - they are not a high street company each patient matters to them. Support the independents!"
— Emma E
"I’ve found the whole team at Silverthorne really helpful, responsive and thoughtful for my trial of contact lenses. It’s been tricky and time consuming but I’ve been impressed with their service. Thank you."
— Cox Sisters
"I cannot praise the excellent professional service and treatment I have received at Silverthorns in Salisbury. After having an eye operation last year I was left with terrible dry eyes until yesterday they carried out what I can only describe like going to the hygienist. They used an oscillating brush that cleaned all my ducts under the eye lids and now my eyes aren't dry anymore!!!!!😊❤👍"
— Pip Slater
"Fantastic team, very friendly and professional. The most comprehensive eye examination I have had."
— Oliver Trees
"Been coming here for probably 10 years now, absolutely amazing service. The most professional and friendly opticians in Salisbury, nothing is too much trouble. Sunglasses, safety specs and day to day glasses I’ve all got from here. Can’t fault the team at all, coming here is an enjoyable experience!"
