Whether it’s time for your routine eye test, you need new glasses, or you’re exploring contact lenses, our opticians near Solihull are here to help.
For over 40 years, Pabari Opticians has been providing thorough, personal eye care from our practice in Moseley Village, Birmingham, and many of our patients travel in from Sutton Coldfield to see us. Whether you're due for a routine eye test, in need of new glasses, or exploring contact lenses for the first time, our small, family-run team takes the time to get things right rather than rushing you through.
Please note: Pabari Opticians is based in Moseley Village, Birmingham, around 10 miles from Sutton Coldfield town centre. It's roughly a 20-minute drive, or you can reach us by train via Birmingham New Street.
We know a trip across to Moseley takes a bit more planning than popping to a local high street optician, so here's what to expect from the journey.
By train: Sutton Coldfield station sits on the Cross City Line, with services to Birmingham New Street running roughly every 10 minutes and taking around 25 minutes. From New Street, it's a short onward journey to Moseley, making the whole trip manageable even without a car.
By car: Most patients find it around a 20-minute drive via the A38, heading down through Erdington. It's a straightforward route with no tricky junctions to navigate.
Coming from around town: Whether you're setting off from near the Gracechurch Centre and The Parade, or from further out towards Mere Green, Four Oaks or Sutton Park, you're never far from the A38 or the train station, so the journey into Moseley is more convenient than many people expect.
Regular eye tests matter for more than just checking whether you need new glasses. They're one of the few routine health checks that can pick up early signs of conditions like glaucoma, diabetes and high blood pressure, often before you'd notice any symptoms yourself.
At Pabari Opticians, every eye test is carried out using modern diagnostic equipment and, more importantly, by someone who takes the time to talk you through what they're seeing. Mukesh Pabari has been a qualified optometrist since 1984 and has built long-standing relationships with patients who have been coming to him for decades, some for over 30 years. We offer both NHS and private eye tests, so do get in touch if you're unsure which applies to you.
Children's eyesight can change quickly, and a young child won't always know how to tell you that something looks blurry or uncomfortable. That's why we recommend regular checks from an early age, and why we've designed our children's eye tests to feel calm and unhurried rather than clinical.
Our team is experienced at putting younger patients at ease, using simple, friendly explanations throughout, which makes a real difference for families travelling in from Sutton Coldfield, Mere Green or Wylde Green for a first appointment.
Once your eye test is complete, our team will help you find frames that genuinely suit you, not just what's in fashion this season. We stock a considered range of designer eyewear, from bold contemporary styles to classic, understated frames, and we'll take the time to talk through fit, comfort and lens options rather than leaving you to choose alone.
For contact lens wearers, we offer a range of contact lenses from daily disposables to extended wear options, and our team will help you find the right fit whether you're trying lenses for the first time or looking to switch from your current prescription.
