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.

Have your arms suddenly become too short for the restaurant menu? 😄 If you’ve started holding your phone a little further away or need brighter light to read comfortably, you may be noticing presbyopia.

The good news is that there are plenty of lens options available, and we can help find one that suits how you actually use your eyes throughout the day. Book an eye examination and let’s find the right solution for you. #Presbyopia #VisionCare #BurgessHill #Eyewear #IndependentOptician

What can a simple eye pressure check tell us? More than you might think. 👁️ At Gardiner Opticians, we use the iCare tonometer to quickly and gently measure the pressure inside the eye. Checking intraocular pressure forms part of assessing your overall eye health and can provide useful information when looking for or monitoring conditions such as glaucoma. The test is quick, non-invasive and often doesn’t require anaesthetic eye drops. It’s another example of the technology we use alongside professional expertise to provide thorough, personalised eye care. #GlaucomaAwareness #EyeHealth #BurgessHill #EyeExamination #GardinerOpticians
When did you last have your eyes examined? 👁️ For many people, a routine eye examination is recommended around every two years, although your optometrist may advise you to attend more frequently depending on your eyes, age and individual needs. And remember, an eye examination isn’t only about checking whether your glasses prescription has changed. It’s also an opportunity to assess your eye health and monitor any changes over time. If your next appointment is due, don’t keep putting it off.

You don’t have to wait until something feels wrong to look after your eye health. Glaucoma is one of the reasons regular eye examinations are so important, as some types may develop without obvious symptoms in their earlier stages. An eye examination isn’t simply about whether you need glasses. It gives your optometrist the opportunity to assess the health of your eyes too. At Gardiner Opticians, we can also use advanced imaging as part of our eye care where appropriate, helping us take a detailed look at the structures inside the eye. #GlaucomaAwareness #EyeHealth #BurgessHill #WestSussex #Optometrist
Could contact lenses play a role in managing your child’s short-sightedness? 👀 MiSight® 1 day contact lenses are specifically designed for children with myopia. As well as providing clear, spectacle-free vision during wear, they are designed to help slow the progression of short-sightedness in suitable children. Myopia management isn’t one-size-fits-all, so the first step is understanding your child’s eyes and discussing which options may be appropriate for them. Contact Gardiner Opticians to find out more about myopia management and MiSight 1 day. 📩 info@gardineropticians.co.uk 📞 01444 248277 #MiSight #MyopiaManagement #ChildrensEyeCare #BurgessHill #ContactLenses
Could your child’s vision be affecting how they learn? 👀📚 If they’re losing their place when reading, confusing letters or words, or finding it difficult to concentrate in the classroom, their eyesight could be part of the picture. Children don’t always realise when something isn’t quite right with their vision, which is why regular eye examinations are so important. A children’s eye examination can help identify vision problems that may be making reading, schoolwork or everyday learning more difficult. Give them the clearest possible start this school year. 👓 Book your child’s eye examination with Gardiner Opticians in Burgess Hill. #ChildrensEyeCare #BurgessHill #EyeHealth #BackToSchool #GardinerOpticians
The days are gradually getting shorter, which can make changes in your vision more noticeable. If driving at dusk, reading road signs or seeing clearly in lower light doesn’t feel as easy as it used to, don’t simply put it down to the weather. A regular eye examination can make sure your prescription is up to date while checking the health of your eyes too. #BurgessHillOpticians #EyeTest #EyeCare #WestSussex

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!”
