Our Mission

At Opticaid, we pride ourselves on developing and selling our own brand of Remaldi® eyewear, which is now synonymous with great quality, design and choice. There’s something for everyone – from trend-led contemporary looks and eye-catching colour to the more subtle everyday, but we guarantee our frames will be a pleasure to own. We only use top-quality frame and lens materials, ensuring Remaldi® glasses are lightweight, hard-wearing and provide clear vision, as well as being excellent value.

We realise the demand for quality reading glasses continues to increase, not only because we spend more time looking at digital devices but because customers like to have glasses dotted conveniently around their home and buy glasses to create different fashion looks. We like to think of them as fashion with function!

Our team regularly updates the collection so we can always offer you something new and exciting. In our quest to Reuse, Reduce, Recycle and Rethink many of our frames are now made from recycled plastics saving them from landfill.

Our History

As well as our reading glasses we sell Remaldi® sunglasses, glasses chains, cases, fun spec holders, and products that solve those niggly optical problems we all experience. Our bestselling night driving glasses and overglasses help to remove optical glare, whilst Angling Eyes provide help for those closeup fiddly tasks such as attaching a fishing fly!

Opticaid was founded in 1989 by Roger Marchbank and his small team. Whilst Roger’s background was in woollen textiles, he had plenty of entrepreneurial spirit and realised there was soon to be a growing market for quality “off the peg” reading glasses.

Our Values

Today, over 35 years later, we are still proud to be a family-run business. The company is now managed by Roger’s daughter-in-law, Gillian Marchbank, alongside her senior management colleagues Linda Whitfield and Greg Marchbank. The professional team strives to offer friendly, flexible customer service alongside top-quality optical products.

We hope you love our products as much as we do!

        This test is designed to identify what strength of reading glasses may be suitable. Remaldi® reading glasses are suitable for presbyopia – the gradual loss of the eyes ability to focus on nearby objects, which is a natural and annoying part of getting older!

        If you are wearing glasses please take these off and sit 35cm away from your screen or hold your phone screen 35 cm away ( important). Then start the test.
