Your eyes deserve regular care, not just a check when something feels wrong 👁️

An eye test helps us assess your vision, check the health of your eyes and make sure your prescription is up to date. It can also help detect early signs of certain eye conditions before you notice changes yourself.

Whether your vision feels different, your glasses no longer feel quite right, or it’s simply been a while since your last appointment, we’re here to help.

Book your eye test with Gardiner Opticians today.

A wide-brimmed hat or visor can give your eyes an extra layer of protection from bright sunlight and glare.

For children, wearing both a hat and sunglasses can reduce UV exposure to the eyes by up to 98%, according to The College of Optometrists. 

A simple summer habit can make a big difference.

Just like the rest of their body, children’s eyes are constantly growing and changing. Good vision plays such an important role in their learning, confidence and everyday development.

Children’s eye tests are available free on the NHS, and we recommend booking an eye test once a year from the age of two. Your child doesn’t need to be able to read, either. We use gentle, child-friendly techniques to assess their vision accurately.

To book your child’s appointment, call 01444 248277 or email info@gardineropticians.co.uk.

Photophobia, or light sensitivity, can sometimes be linked to underlying eye conditions and should not be ignored if it becomes frequent or uncomfortable.

It may be associated with conditions such as:
• Uveitis
• Keratitis
• Ocular albinism
• Conjunctivitis
• Blepharospasm
• Eye injury, surgery, or trauma

If you are experiencing ongoing light sensitivity, booking an eye examination can help identify the cause and ensure you get the right support for your eye health.

What our clients have to say…

“Highly recommended over the usual big high street names, excellent personable service and prescriptions are always spot on. A family member used Specsavers recently and ended up wasting £400 on glasses with an incorrect prescription – never had a problem with Gardiner Opticians in this respect.”
Sheldon Holy
“Appointment today on time excellent service. Not normal eye test. But given excellent advice on how to proceed at eye hospital. No mention of charges. Highly recommended.”
Michael Dennett Thorpe
“Extremely professional, high quality and friendly service at all levels. Catriona and Bob are absolutely brilliant at what they do, with such a great manner about them. They put you completely at ease and allow plenty of time and opportunity to discuss options and questions. The reception team are extremely polite and helpful and the glasses are of exceptional quality. Cannot fault this Opticians, would highly recommend.”
Tracey Brockbank
“Friendly service and expert optometry. My glasses were perfect for me and staff were keen to help with choice of styles, adjusting them for a better fit, and so on. I would definitely recommend.”
Ross McNally
“Can’t recommend highly enough! A friend suggested Gardiners and I can honestly say I’ve never had such a thorough service. I’ve had contact lens and glasses for around 30 years and have tried many Optitian’s over the years, but I will definitely be sticking with Gardiners! Friendly staff and a very individualized service. I received excellent advice on my options and have the best fitting lenses I’ve ever had. Thank you!”
