Welcome to Flint & Partners

Flint and Partners is a group of independent practices in the West Midlands and South Staffordshire, founded in 1935. We are dedicated to providing the highest standards of eyecare combining traditional methods with the very latest technology, such as Digital Retinal Photography. Our knowledge of Sports Vision is unique to the area.

Our philosophy is traditional but not old-fashioned: Each practitioner is happy to see both private and NHS patients - see Services - and it will be your Optometrist who conducts the entire consultation from the eye examination to the selection, dispensing and fitting of Contact Lenses or Spectacles from our extensive range of budget to exclusive designer frames.

We do not delegate any tests to unqualified staff.

We offer the highest quality comprehensive Eye Examination packages for Private and NHS patients.

We offer screening for Diabetes (Digital Retinal Photography) Glaucoma, Cataract and Macular Degeneration and have expertise in Low Vision and all types of Contact Lenses.

Eye wear

We house one of the widest ranges of Designer frames and sunglasses in the area and are happy to order frames from any collection for you to view at your leisure. We have recently become an Oakley Stockist, extending our range of specialist Eyewear - any eye wear you need we can provide in prescription or non prescription formats, including WRAPAROUND Sunglasses!

Contact lenses

We have three practitioners (Dennis Rumble, Peter Rockett, and Edward Lyons) who fit contact lenses from the traditional Rigid Gas Permeable lenses to Daily Disposables and the most advanced fortnightly Silicone Hydrogel (SiH) and monthly lenses. Bifocal, Varifocal and even tailor-made bespoke designs are available, as are cosmetic lenses, overnight lenses, and sports-specific tinted contact lenses.
