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.

Services
Maintain healthy vision for as long as possible with our extensive array of eye care services. Your eyes are our priority. We've spent decades honing our skills to offer you the most professional and dedicated array of services on the market. We're an independent opticians, and we use that license to offer you the quality and commitment you might not receive at a larger practice.
Over 30% of all patients suffer from some type of blepharitis symptoms. BlephEx is a new, in-office procedure that allows the clinician to take an active role in treating blepharitis. BlephEx reduces scurf and bacterial debris, the main causes of inflammatory lid disease, and improves the overall health of the eyelid.
If a child has a problem with their sight which isn't addressed by age seven or eight, they could suffer from reduced vision for the rest of their life. That's why we recommend that your child has their eyes tested at three years of age, then once every year after that. This will allow us to be proactive should any sight problems arise, and to get your child into the healthy habit of visiting your local opticians regularly.
We don't skimp on our eye examinations, which is why a test with us will last between 30 and 40 minutes. With the luxury of time on our side, we'll be able to provide you with a comprehensive test and discuss its results with you, allowing you to understand it fully and make informed decisions about your sight.
For some people, a busy schedule often means that they struggle to find the time to visit the opticians, but at Crowborough Opticians, we take the hassle out of taking care of your eyes and happily come to you. Mobility issues affect many of our clients and, for many, leaving the house to visit us can be a painful or even impossible struggle.

What a fabulous find. Having been with the "big Boys" for years it is refreshing to receive such wonderful service. A rarity. The service received by myself and my husband has been incredible. Please ditch the others and go and see Matthew - you wont regret it. I would be giving 10 stars plus if able.

Matthew Smew is by far and hands down the best optician I've ever had the fortune of meeting. Not only is he a true professional, but takes true care in every aspect of his work. He and his practice are professional and efficient. Highly recommend to all those in need of a great pair of specs, home visits, etc.

Absolutely fantastic opticians! After 4 eye operations I have notoriously difficult eyes/vision and have had to have multiple trips to several high street opticians which still hadnt resulted in the correct prescription. Matthew however, got my prescription 100% the first time!! He spent a lot of time with me discussing my options and I never felt rushed. I am so happy to finally be able to see clearly and comfortably for the first time in years!
Everybody is lovely, friendly and went above and beyond for me. I cannot recommend highly enough and won't ever go anywhere else!

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!
