Our Story
We opened our independent practice in Lurgan, Co Armagh back in 1990 and that independence has empowered us to cultivate our practice according to our distinct vision and values.
Today, Grace & O’Neill Opticians & Eyewear in Lurgan not only serve a substantial patient base but also take pride in seeking out and delivering the widest possible range of designer eyewear at the best possible prices.
HENSON 9000
Using state of the art equipment such as the Henson 9000, we can offer patients a faster, more comfortable, and highly accurate way to detect and monitor glaucoma. Its Smart Supra test can screen for early visual field defects in under a minute per eye. With enhanced sensitivity and the ability to retest or extend patterns mid-test, it improves diagnostic confidence.
Eye Health Innovation
Glaucoma, often symptomless in its early stages, requires a suite of tests for proper diagnosis—tonometry, visual field testing and optic nerve head assessment. All of these are readily available at Grace and O’Neill, with OCT playing a vital role in identifying changes invisible to standard screening techniques.

Customer Reviews
Taking my kids to the opticians used to be stressful, but Grace & O’Neill made it so easy. The staff were incredibly friendly and patient, and they explained everything in a way my children could understand. It felt relaxed, never rushed, and my kids actually enjoyed the visit. I wouldn’t go anywhere else now.

A fantastic opticians!! All the staff who work at Grace & O'Neill Opticians & Eyewear are very friendly, extremely efficient and go above and beyond to care for you. A really lovely environment to visit and I wouldn’t consider going anywhere else because I genuinely believe I wouldn’t get the same level of care.
