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 and 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:

🧠 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.

Your eyes are truly biological wonders 👁️💫

Make your 20 seconds worth their while 😆

📚 “Don’t read in the dark – you’ll ruin your eyes!”
We’ve all heard this advice at some point… but is it true?

🔍 Myth busted! Reading in dim light won’t cause permanent damage to your eyes. However, it can lead to temporary discomfort like eye strain, dry eyes, or even headaches – especially if you're at it for hours.

💡 To keep your vision comfortable and avoid tired eyes:
✔️ Make sure your reading space is well lit
✔️ Take regular breaks (follow the 20-20-20 rule!)
✔️ Use reading glasses if prescribed

So go ahead – enjoy that novel or newspaper with your morning cuppa ☕ Just give your eyes the right environment to stay relaxed and happy!
