Eye tests in Heathfield
Many common eye problems like short-sightedness, far-sightedness and lazy eye can be prevented by regular eye checkups. The sooner a problem is detected and addressed, the faster and more effectively it will be treated. If left undetected, your child’s eye problem may lead to permanent disabilities or defects.

What our customers say about us
Matthew offered me first class treatment when I visited for an appointment. Nothing was too much trouble and he the took time to explain everything I asked. I would recommend Crowborough opticians to anyone needing an eye test.

A long overdue review about my recent experience at Crowborough Opticians. The service was one of a kind and rare, the type you do not really experience nowadays! I am a glass-wearer for most of my life and had so much trouble to find suitable and well fitting frames with adequately thinned lenses. The team (with Anne (hope I remember the name well) helping me all way through) was honest, not trying to sell but guided me gently to find the best glasses, and made the whole experience so much better than usually is. Thank you so much for everything. Surely will return if I need another pair!

Excellent help and service when a lens dropped out of my specs during a long journey. Repair carried out quickly and efficiently and was able to resume journey.
