Independent opticians in the heart of Cranbrook
Established by Mark and Eimer Hammond, our practice is built on personal care, clinical expertise and long-standing relationships with our patients. Many people come to us through word of mouth and local GP referrals, and we are proud to look after generations of families in our community.
Good care takes time.
We believe good care takes time. That’s why our eye examinations are never rushed and are always carried out by a qualified optometrist, not assistants.
We offer 45-minute sight tests, giving us the time to listen, explain and thoroughly check your eye health. Whether you are visiting us privately or through the NHS, you’ll receive the same attentive, professional care.
