What is ear wax?
Simply put, ear wax, or cerumen, is a natural mix of oil, sweat, hair, and dead skin cells. While many people think ear wax is “dirty,” that’s actually a misconception. In fact, ear wax plays an important role in protecting your ears, it has antibacterial properties that help prevent infections and keep your ears healthy.
Ear wax typically appears in shades of brown or yellow, but it can also have reddish or even black tones. Interestingly, the darker the wax, the longer it’s likely been there. So, while ear wax is completely normal, it’s important to take care of it to maintain healthy ears! At Dipple and Conway, we’re here to help with safe and effective ear wax removal, keeping your ears clear and comfortable.

Thank you to Billie and the rest of the team at Dipple and Conway. For many years I have been very sceptical about taking advice from opticians in terms of styles, fits and frames but instantly it was very clear that she is extremely knowledgable about her profession. The customer service from her and the entire team is faultless. The quality of the frames and lenses are incredible. High Street brand opticians have their place in the world but there is absolutely no comparison to a professional company like Dipple and Conway. These folks are in a completely different league. Thank you all. I love my new glasses!

I have been using the Dipple & Conway Norwich branch for several years now and I can't sing their praises enough. Always excellent professional service, with staff who are highly trained and knowledgeable. I have been given the best advice for my needs and therefore, a prescription to match. There are various options available, depending on your preferences for testing - I generally take the full package, including a scan etc. as the best technology is used here. Not only that, they have a select range of frames and sunglasses from well chosen brands, with something for everyone in the latest designs and styles. The dispensing team has been helpful, as I was so indecisive. Always a calm and relaxed environment, it is a pleasure to visit!

Dipple & Conway provide an excellent service but the cost of getting new lens when you don’t want new frames is extremely expensive. I pay a monthly subscription which is nearly £200 annually, so you’d expect a decent discount for new lens. Sadly I’ve ben charged £220 for a pair of single vision lens, that includes the 10% I get for my membership. I feel I have to go through Dipple to get lens because recent experiences getting new lens online have been poor. The daft thing is new glasses would have been £260 with a 25% discount but my existing Rayban frames are lovely and only a year old, it’s wasteful to throw them away.

D and C make you feel like a valued customer. Their VCP is confidence inspiring as if there is a problem you are given an appointment so promptly. My fortnightly contact lenses are so very comfortable and give me extremely good vision considering the shortcomings of my natural sight. From the welcome at reception to the personalised care shown by both Aaron and Deborah I always feel in very professional and approachable hands. Am I their longest standing client having had my first glasses from them 64 years ago?

My husband and I have recently become customers of Dipple & Conway. We both needed new glasses, also my husband additionally new contact lenses. Our service there has been outstanding. We worked with Billie, on our 3 visits. Billie is wonderful. Professional, courteous, knowledgeable and super friendly. We both love our new glasses. I highly recommend Dipple & Conway, and their fabulous assistant Billie.

Abby and her colleagues gave me an extremely thorough eye examination and was only too pleased to explain the different aspects of the tests she carried out. I can’t fault the service at Dipple and Conway at all, and I highly recommend them.
