Professional eye care, friendly service

Just had my eye test done at Sanford Opticians and I couldn’t recommend them more!

From the moment I walked in, the team made me feel completely at ease. The eye test was thorough, professional, and explained in a way that was easy to understand no rushing, just genuine care for my eye health.

It’s amazing what a difference a proper eye exam makes clearer vision, peace of mind, and even advice on protecting my eyes day-to-day.

If you’ve been putting off your eye test, this is your sign! Go get it booked at Sanford Opticians your eyes will thank you.

Protect your eyes:

Get regular eye exams

Eye Care Tip from Sanford Opticians

Remember the 20-20-20 rule to reduce eye strain: every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds. Regular breaks help prevent tired, dry eyes — especially if you spend long hours on screens.

If your vision feels strained or you notice headaches, it might be time to book an eye test and keep your prescription up to date.

At Sanford Opticians, we ensure to tailor each test according to your requirements as we have many different ways of testing your eyes. The eye test doesn't simply measure what you see, it also checks the health of your eyes and can provide an insight into possible general health problems, such as diabetes, high blood pressure and thyroid disease.

We use the latest technology and equipment during eye tests to ensure we achieve maximum results. The Thompson Test Chart uses 3D technology to help test muscle balance and can randomise the chart to ensure patients aren't relying on their memory during the test. Please feel welcome to ask any questions you might have.
