The People Behind Almond Eyecare
Every patient we visit is treated with dignity, patience and genuine care. Meet the team that makes that possible.
Nital Ruparelia
Founder & Principal OptometristI am the founder and principal optometrist at Almond Eyecare. With over 20 years of experience in the optical profession and more than a decade specialising in domiciliary eye care, I am passionate about providing high-quality, personalised eye care to those who are unable to attend a traditional optician practice.
Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of caring for patients in their own homes, independent living communities, and care homes. This experience has given me a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by older adults, individuals living with dementia, and those with mobility or complex health needs.

"I love being able to support our patients and their families from the very first phone call. Knowing that we've helped make accessing eye care easier and more comfortable for someone is incredibly rewarding."
— Michaela Barton, Client LeadOur Values
Everything we do is guided by a genuine commitment to the patients and families we serve.
Compassion First
We treat every patient as an individual — taking the time to understand their needs, fears and preferences before we begin.
Clinical Excellence
We bring the same standard of care to your home as you would receive in any high-street practice — with specialist equipment and expertise.
Dignity & Respect
We never rush. Every appointment is conducted with patience and respect for the patient's comfort and pace.
Accessibility for All
We believe good vision care should be available to everyone — regardless of mobility, language, or cognitive ability.
Home is Where Care Belongs
For many of our patients, home is the safest and most comfortable environment. We bring expert care to where they feel most at ease.
Continuous Aftercare
Our relationship with patients doesn't end at the appointment — we follow up, adjust, repair and revisit as needed.
