SLOW THE PROGRESSION OF YOUR CHILD’S MYOPIA BY UP TO 60%

Short-sightedness usually starts in childhood and gets progressively worse as your child grows. New advances in lens technology allow us to slow or even stop this progression.

If you’ve always assumed contact lenses wouldn’t work for your prescription, it might be time to take another look. 👀 Modern contact lenses can suit a wide range of visual needs, including short-sightedness, long-sightedness, astigmatism and the need for reading correction. Some people wear lenses every day, while others simply enjoy having them as an alternative to glasses for sport, holidays or social occasions. The best place to start is with a contact lens assessment so we can look at your eyes, prescription and lifestyle. Book a contact lens consultation with the Gardiner Opticians team. #ContactLenses #BurgessHill #EyeCare #IndependentOptician #GardinerOpticians
October has arrived 🍂 With shorter days, darker mornings and more time spent indoors, this is often the time of year when we become a little more aware of how well we’re seeing. Perhaps driving at dusk feels less comfortable, you’re relying on brighter light to read or your current glasses simply don’t feel as effective as they once did. If something has changed, or you’re due your routine appointment, autumn is a good time to get your eyes checked.

It’s National Eye Health Week 👁️💚 Your eyesight is precious, but when life gets busy, routine eye care can easily slip down the list. An eye examination isn’t simply about finding out whether you need new glasses. It gives your optometrist the opportunity to check your vision, examine your eye health and monitor changes over time. So here’s your reminder for this week: When did you last have your eyes examined? If you’re due, now is a great time to put it in the diary. #NationalEyeHealthWeek #EyeHealthWeek #BurgessHill #EyeCare
Have your arms suddenly become too short for the restaurant menu? 😄 If you’ve started holding your phone a little further away or need brighter light to read comfortably, you may be noticing presbyopia. It’s an extremely common change in close-up vision that occurs as we get older. The good news is that there are plenty of lens options available, and we can help find one that suits how you actually use your eyes throughout the day. Book an eye examination and let’s find the right solution for you. #Presbyopia #VisionCare #BurgessHill #Eyewear #IndependentOptician

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!”
