Our story

Family-run, purpose-driven, at your door since 2009.

Opticall began as a small family business with a simple belief: everyone deserves the gift of optimum vision - including those who can't get to the high street. Sixteen years on, we're a trusted partner to over 450 care homes and thousands of families.

Our mission is simple

To deliver the gift of optimum vision, so you can see, live and enjoy life.

How we started

Care that comes to you.

Our founder, Satish Pancholi, qualified as an optometrist over 20 years ago. Two years into practice he discovered domiciliary care - visiting people who couldn't get to a high street optician - and was struck by the visible difference it made to their lives.

He founded Opticall in 2009. What began as a small, family-run business has grown into a trusted partner to hundreds of care homes and thousands of families across Hertfordshire and the surrounding counties - but the reason we do it hasn't changed.

We build a secure online record for care homes - consent, results and follow-ups in one place, ready for CQC.

450+ care homes & hearing care

We add home-visiting hearing care to complete our sensory service - still family-run, still values-led.

What guides us

Our values aren't just words on a page.

They guide our decisions and our interactions, and they're the foundation that holds us steady as we work to transform lives through exceptional eye and hearing care.

Integrity

We do the right thing, even when no one is watching.

Collaboration

Patients, families and care teams - we work as one.

Excellence

Fully qualified, always learning, never cutting corners.

Innovation

From portable clinics to our digital portal, we keep improving.

Person-centred care

Every visit is shaped around the person in front of us.

Qualified & regulated

Care you can trust, backed by the right credentials.

Our opticians and audiologists are fully qualified, DBS checked and Dementia Friends certified. We're registered with the professional bodies that keep standards high - and we work within NHS and CQC frameworks every day.

The people behind Opticall

A team that leads with compassion.

The work we do in transforming lives doesn't happen through process or protocol alone. It happens through our people - optometrists, dispensing opticians, audiologists and a support team who show up fully and believe everyone deserves to see well, live fully, and keep their dignity and independence.
