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. MiYOSMART myopia control spectacle lenses and MiSight contact lenses have been clinically shown to slow down the advance of myopia.

Finding it harder to read, recognise faces or see detail? Low vision means everyday tasks aren’t clear even with glasses or contacts. It’s more common over 60 and often linked to AMD, glaucoma, cataracts or diabetic retinopathy — but there’s support available, from magnifiers to tailored care. 

If you notice central blur, tunnel vision, cloudy sight, new floaters or sudden changes, book a check. Call 01444 248277.

Fireworks are brilliant — but protect your eyes. Around 300 serious eye injuries happen in the UK each year, with about ten people losing sight. Choose organised displays, wear safety goggles if you’re handling fireworks, keep clear distances, supervise children and buy BS 7114–marked fireworks.

If an eye injury occurs, don’t rub or rinse, don’t remove anything stuck in the eye — cover it and seek urgent care/A&E. For advice, call 01444 248277.

Winter glare is real. Because snow and ice reflect the sun from below, and the sun sits lower in the sky, visibility can suffer — particularly on the road. Pop on quality UV-protective sunglasses to keep your vision clear and comfortable.

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!”
