Andy Molsom BSc(Hons) MCOptom

Picture of Andy MolsomI graduated from Bradford University with First Class Honours and two awards for the best marks in Contact Lens practical and theory in 1993. After passing the professional examinations the following year, I qualified as an Optometrist.

My special interests within Optometry are treating Dry Eyes, fitting Contact Lenses (especially the latest Varifocal lenses), and Macular Degeneration.

I have always been an advocate for new technology, being the first to bring Digital Retinal Photography to the area. Since 2010 we were one of the first practices in the county to offer the advanced ocular imaging which is OCT (Ocular Coherence Tomography). This enables us to see under the surface of the retina at very high levels of magnification.

I have been married since 1997 and we have two children, both girls, the eldest is determined to take over the business one day - watch this space! We are all RSPB members, and it is a good excuse to get outside with the girls and help them to enjoy and appreciate nature.

I enjoy watching all forms of motorsport, but especially Formula 1. After years of putting it off, the urge to take part in motorsport finally got the better of me in 2004. Competing in 3 events that year in a Caterham 7, saw no turning back. The highlight was winning my first race in 2007. Other commitments tend to keep me away from the racing these days, but I am always hopeful for a return to regular competitions in the future.

    My wife and I had previously used well know nationwide companies for the last few years, through what we believed to be convenience, before we came to visit you in Donington, and I can tell you it shall definately be the last time we use anyone else. It was far easier to arrange an appointment with you, much easier (and cheaper) to park, no hard selling, and just a lovely warm and calming feel about coming to see you from start to finish.

    James & Stephanie Vickers, Kirton

    My eyes are checked and monitored regularly and if I have any concerns or queries about my eyes or the contact lens, the staff at Molsom are happy to help and can quickly arrange for an appointment with one of the 3 eye specialists.

    Melanie Stibbons, Spalding

    Whilst the previous optician had (as I thought) been thorough in their eye examination, I was pleasantly surprised at the much more in-depth knowledge of your goodself. Your examination was certainly of much higher quality and my spectacles are comfortable, compact and fit very well.

    Alfred Webb, Spalding

    I was won over by the treatment received from Molsom Optomterists - from the friendly welcome at reception to the 'technical bit' in the middle! - to the final fitting of spectacles

    Anne Tennant, Quadring Eaudyke

    Having reached the conclusion of the eyecare treatment and provision of spectacles, I would like to thank you for the efficient professional and friendly service which I experienced.

    A E Smith, Whaplode

    I would like to say a big thank you for looking after my eyes so well. I paid to go on the new machine which I am most grateful that I did, then for you writing to my doctor for a further consultation at the hospital, where I was diagnosed with glaucoma.

    J Harding, Spalding

    Living on a Caribbean island has its benefits: the climate, the beaches, but it also has its challenges and quality eye care is one of them. Eyesight is very precious and though it's true; I'm as blind as bat without glasses, I cherish my eyesight. Molsoms have been my optometrists for nearly 10 years and I wouldn't trust my eyesight to anyone else. The staff are always pleasant, professional and eager to help, even if the customer is 4,000 miles away! I am sure this dedication to the customer has been key to their continued growth and I say Thank You! And good luck for the future.

    Mr & Mrs Fereday, Mustique
