Henderson Opticians - Stockton

Henderson Opticians - Stockton Henderson Opticians were originally W.B Carr, Jeweller Optician, at the turn of the last century.

The practice was then bought by Mr Brian Durkin, who owned several practices in the Teesside area. The Stockton premises were being managed by the late Mr James Henderson when Mr Durkin decided to sell most of his branches, so Mr Henderson bought the practice. In the 1980s a further branch was opened in Yarm, and as Mr Henderson was nearing retirement, he formed a partnership. Robert Stokeld and Matt Booker are the current Partners in the Practices, and the Marton premises, which are known as "Stokeld & Stephens" are part of the group of three. In February 2008 the Marton premises relocated from a first floor position to new premises downstairs, to make the premises more accessible to those with disabilities or who find climbing stairs difficult. We have always been independent, and, at a time when big business seems to want to take over every avenue of our lives, we maintain a strong ethos of being trustworthy and honest with people, a reputation that we have worked hard to maintain. All the professional staff have a say in how the practices are run, which helps make sure that we continue to innovate and perform as professional a job as possible. We have many loyal patients who travel a long way for our services, some from overseas, so we hope that our professionalism will continue to attract people. Our strongest advertising is word of mouth, so we want to maintain our reputation and go from strength to strength.

Did you know that ..... most of the lenses for spectacles are now made from specialised polymer plastics - we rarely use glass in lenses except for certain very special needs.

Call in or contact our friendly team if you need advice on the best lenses for your individual needs.

Today, 4th January, is World Braille day, as it marks the birthday in 1809 of Louis Braille. At the age of 15 (200 years ago) he introduced his method of allowing people with severe visual impairment to be able to read. He continued to develop this for the rest of his life. It's given people with severe visual problems the ability to have independence, knowledge and freedom, and is, as you'll know, still in use today. You can find Braille writing on control buttons in lifts and in lots of other public places - look out for them and you'll be surprised how many there are!
