Ig:

David Gould Opticians have two optical practices in the Rossendale Valley, located on Bank Street Rawtenstall, and Deardengate Haslingden. Founded by David & Diane Gould (both qualified contact lens opticians) in 2003, David Gould Opticians, work with experienced, qualified independent optometrists using some of the latest examination equipment to provide a comprehensive eye care service. David an

d the trained support staff are on hand to offer first-rate advice on frames and lenses to ensure you have the information to make the correct choice of eyewear for your needs. We are proud to be one of the UK’s first suppliers of Hoya’s MiYOSMART spectacle lenses which help slow down the progression of Myopia in growing children. The latest digital contact lens equipment is used to continue to provide what has become the largest contact lens service in the area. All types of contact lenses, including disposables, multifocals, continuous wear, hybrids, Rigid Gas Permeables and toric lenses for astigmatism, are supplied, including specialist lenses for Keratoconus. Myopia Management is a specialty and MiSight and Orthokeratology are amongst our armoury to fight the progression of Myopia in young children. David Gould Opticians hold the status of Acuvue Centre of Excellence, are one of Alcon’s Premium Independent Practices, and are members of Coopervision's Visionary Club. This means that we often have access to new products before they are generally available. We have also carried out clinical research studies on new contact lens products yet to hit the market. We do not use "own brand" products as we believe this restricts choice and we want our clients to be able to choose from the full selection of products available. Our Dry Eye Assessments were first introduced as early as 2012 and have proved very popular and attracted many new clients to the practice. We are able to carry out various diagnostic tests to determine the nature of the problem and recommend appropriate treatment. Many people we have seen have been using the same treatments for many years and have never been exposed to some of the latest products and methods. Our digital slit lamp microscope allows us to show what we can see and helps clients gain a better understanding of what's happening. You can also find us in Haslingden:

✨ How deep can your eyes really see? ✨

This is all about depth and focus. Bring the screen close, relax your eyes, and slowly pull back… let the hidden image rise from within the layers. 🔍🧘‍♂️

💡 Just like this illusion, your eyes work hard every day to judge distance, focus between near and far, and give you a sense of depth. When your eyes are healthy, your world stays sharp at every level.

👓 Tip: If focusing feels like hard work, or depth perception seems off, it might be time for an eye test. Book in with your local independent optician and keep your vision crystal clear. 🦸‍♂️👁️

🧠 Mind-Blowing Eye Fact!
The human eye is second only to the brain in complexity
Just think – your retina alone contains over 120 million rods and cones, working non-stop to detect light, motion, and colour 🌈
It processes vast amounts of visual information in milliseconds, allowing you to see and react in real-time – whether it's catching a ball or admiring a sunset.

Many eye conditions develop slowly and silently, with no obvious symptoms in the early stages. By the time changes in your vision become noticeable, the condition may already be advanced – and harder to treat.

🩺 Regular eye exams aren’t just about checking your prescription. They can detect:

👁️‍🗨️ Glaucoma – often called the “silent thief of sight”

🧠 Signs of high blood pressure, diabetes, or even brain tumours

🧬 Inherited conditions that run in families

👀 Early signs of cataracts or macular degeneration

Even if you’ve had perfect vision for years, don’t assume everything’s fine behind the scenes.

✅ Adults should have an eye test at least every 2 years – or more often if advised.

📅 Why not use today as a reminder to book your next appointment? It’s quick, it’s easy, and it could protect your sight for life.

🌙 Tired Eyes? It Might Be Your Sleep Schedule!

Good sleep isn’t just for your energy levels — it’s vital for your eyes too. 😴👁️

When you don’t get enough rest:
🔹 Your eyes don’t get time to properly replenish
🔹 You may experience dryness, twitching or blurred vision
🔹 It can make existing conditions like dry eye worse

💤 Aim for 7–9 hours of quality sleep a night
💧 Stay hydrated
🛑 Wind down without screens an hour before bed

Your eyes need their beauty sleep too! Treat them kindly tonight 😌

📱 Be honest… how many hours have you spent looking at a screen today?

Phones, laptops, TV — it all adds up.

If your eyes are feeling tired, strained or blurry, it might be time to give them a break… or get them checked.

😎 Be Sun Wise This Summer! 🌞

Not all sunglasses are created equal — your eyes deserve more than just tinted lenses.

🛑 Cheap, unregulated sunglasses can do more harm than good by letting UV rays in while dilating your pupils.

✅ At your local independent optician, we offer sunglasses with:

🔒 100% UVA & UVB protection
👓 Quality lenses you can trust
✨ Expert advice tailored to your eyes

Don’t gamble with your vision. Choose protection that’s stylish and safe — straight from the professionals who care.

🔍 Anatomy Monday: The Retina
Your retina is the paper-thin layer of cells lining the back of your eye 👁️
It works like the film in a camera – capturing light and converting it into messages sent to your brain. 🧠
Conditions like retinal detachment, diabetic retinopathy, and macular degeneration all start here.
🩺 Regular eye exams help detect retinal issues early – even before symptoms show.

Ever cleaned your glasses…

Smudges. Streaks. Mystery marks that appear out of nowhere…

You’re not alone.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Family Eye Check Reminder

Kids don’t always know how their vision should be.

The right pair of glasses can change more than your vision.

They can change how you feel walking into a room.
How you present yourself.
How confident you are day to day.

That’s why choosing the right frames matters.
