The practice has always been at 72 Brynymor Road and was founded by Optician John Dryden in the 1940's. It was later taken over by Wyndham Rees and in 1968 became Huw Williams Optician. Huw Bellamy Optometrist was established in 2005. The practice has evolved to provide comprehensive eye care for all ages in a friendly and professional environment. We have invested in equipment, technology and post graduate training to expand the scope of eye examinations and services provided. Optical assistants Dawn, Claire and Claire have been with the practice since 2010, 2018 and 2023 respectively.

Huw is from Gelligaer in the Rhymney Valley and graduated in Optometry at Cardiff University in 1997. He has always practiced in Swansea and has attained further qualifications in Glaucoma, Medical Retina (eg: diabetic eye disease and macula degeneration), Independent Prescribing, Dry Eye Disease, Low Vision and Acute Eye Care. Huw has worked for the Welsh Optometric Post Graduate Education Centre at Cardiff University as a tutor and supervisor. He now works with a small group of fellow community Optometrists and Singleton Hospital Medical Retina team in the management of diabetic eye disease and macula degeneration.

The heart of our business is continuity of care provided by a small and experienced team. Our priority is making the practice a place where people feel at ease, valued and treated as individuals. We continually invest to provide a high standard of care and have strong links with our clinical partners in the community and hospital eye clinics - NHS and private. As an independent we have access to a wide range of frames, lenses and contact lenses to suit all. We can be flexible with opening hours and provide a limited domiciliary service. Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any queries.

Our opening hours are:

• Monday to Friday: 9.00 - 5.30
• Saturday: Closed
• Sunday: Closed
