Our Legacy of Patient Care

Since 1975, RC Cunning has been the go-to optometry practice for the local communities of Bruntsfield, Penicuik, and beyond. At our core, we have always placed patient care as our top priority. Our unwavering dedication to providing exceptional service has resulted in generations of patients returning to us, from children to even grandchildren.

As a family-run business, we take pride in our history and legacy. David Cunning now leads the team at RC Cunning, under the guidance of Raymond, who remains an integral part of the practice. With their combined expertise and experience, our patients can rest assured that they are receiving the best care possible.
