Every lens, frame, and consultation at Templeman Opticians weaves into a story that began over 60 years ago in Rayleigh Highstreet Essex. This story isn’t just about creating an opticians’ service; it’s about a dream to make community-centered eye care accessible to all.
Templemans first opened its doors in Rayleigh with a simple but profound mission: to blend cutting-edge optometry with a touch of home. Over the decades, we’ve grown not just in size but in heart. From serving the local communities of Southend, Brentwood, Chelmsford, and Basildon, we have extended our reach, but our ethos remains – personalized care with professional expertise.
Do you remember our first mobile optician service that transformed how many perceived eye care? Or how we introduced the extensive range of glasses, tailored to fit every unique face and style? These milestones, among countless others, are what make our journey so special.
From those early days, armed with passion and a vision, to today, as we embrace the latest in optometric technology, we remain rooted in our commitment to our community and their vision.

Tailored Solutions for All: Our comprehensive range of glasses ensures that everyone finds their perfect pair, irrespective of age, style preference, or prescription.

Pioneers in Mobile Optometry: Recognizing the need for flexible eye care solutions, we pioneered mobile optician services in Essex. This innovation underscores our commitment to making quality eye care accessible to all.
