Ig:

David Gould Opticians have two optical practices in the Rossendale Valley, located on Bank Street Rawtenstall, and Deardengate Haslingden. Founded by David & Diane Gould (both qualified contact lens opticians) in 2003, David Gould Opticians, work with experienced, qualified independent optometrists using some of the latest examination equipment to provide a comprehensive eye care service. David an

d the trained support staff are on hand to offer first-rate advice on frames and lenses to ensure you have the information to make the correct choice of eyewear for your needs. We are proud to be one of the UK’s first suppliers of Hoya’s MiYOSMART spectacle lenses which help slow down the progression of Myopia in growing children. The latest digital contact lens equipment is used to continue to provide what has become the largest contact lens service in the area. All types of contact lenses, including disposables, multifocals, continuous wear, hybrids, Rigid Gas Permeables and toric lenses for astigmatism, are supplied, including specialist lenses for Keratoconus. Myopia Management is a specialty and MiSight and Orthokeratology are amongst our armoury to fight the progression of Myopia in young children. David Gould Opticians hold the status of Acuvue Centre of Excellence, are one of Alcon’s Premium Independent Practices, and are members of Coopervision's Visionary Club. This means that we often have access to new products before they are generally available. We have also carried out clinical research studies on new contact lens products yet to hit the market. We do not use "own brand" products as we believe this restricts choice and we want our clients to be able to choose from the full selection of products available. Our Dry Eye Assessments were first introduced as early as 2012 and have proved very popular and attracted many new clients to the practice. We are able to carry out various diagnostic tests to determine the nature of the problem and recommend appropriate treatment. Many people we have seen have been using the same treatments for many years and have never been exposed to some of the latest products and methods. Our digital slit lamp microscope allows us to show what we can see and helps clients gain a better understanding of what's happening. You can also find us in Haslingden:

👁️ See clearly. Live fully.

Good vision is something many of us take for granted—until it starts to change.

Whether you're reading a book, driving, enjoying a walk with family or simply going about your daily routine, your eyesight plays a vital role in helping you live life with confidence.

That's why regular eye examinations are about much more than checking whether you need new glasses. They also help us monitor your eye health, identify changes to your vision and detect signs of eye conditions as early as possible.

At David Gould Opticians, we're proud to provide expert eye care with a personal approach, taking the time to understand your needs and recommend the most appropriate solutions for you.

If it's been a while since your last eye examination, why not make your eye health a priority?

✔ Your face shape
✔ Your prescription
✔ Your lifestyle and daily routine
✔ Comfort and fit
✔ Your personal style

Whether you're after something classic, contemporary or lightweight enough for all-day wear, our experienced team will guide you through the options without any pressure.

Because the right glasses don't just improve how you see—they can make you feel more confident every day.

A Ray-Ban G15 lens blocks 85% of light.

A solar filter blocks 99.999%.

This means that you would need at least SEVEN pairs of Ray-Ban G15 lenses stacked one on top of the other to get even close to the light absorption of a solar filter, AND the Ray-Bans wouldn’t protect you from the Infrared.

PLEASE don’t look directly at the eclipse later if you haven’t got the correct gear to do it with, and please share this information with anyone that thinks they know better.

Stay safe, everyone, and enjoy!

With some shops running out of stock, it may be too late to buy eclipse glasses - but you can still safely watch the spectacle using some household items.

👁️ Did you know?

On average, we blink 15–20 times every minute.

But when we're using a computer, tablet or phone, that number can drop by as much as half.

Less blinking means your eyes don't stay as well lubricated, which can leave them feeling:

💧 Dry
😣 Tired
👁️ Irritated
😵 Blurry after long periods on a screen

A simple tip? Try to remember the 20-20-20 rule.

Every 20 minutes, look at something around 20 feet away for 20 seconds. It gives your eyes a chance to relax and can help reduce digital eye strain.

If you're regularly experiencing tired or uncomfortable eyes, it's always worth having your vision checked to make sure your prescription is up to date and there isn't an underlying issue.

Whether you're visiting us for a routine eye examination, choosing new glasses or looking for specialist advice, you can expect the same friendly, professional service that has been at the heart of our practice for more than two decades.

👁️ Digital eyestrain: are your eyes trying to tell you something?

Do your eyes feel tired after a day in front of a computer, tablet or phone?

You're not alone.

Many of us spend hours looking at digital screens every day, and it's common to experience symptoms such as:

👁️ Tired eyes
💧 Dry or watery eyes
😣 Blurred vision
🤕 Headaches
😴 Difficulty focusing

While screens don't permanently damage your eyesight, they can place extra strain on your eyes and make existing vision problems more noticeable.

Simple changes such as taking regular breaks, blinking more often and ensuring your prescription is up to date can make a real difference.

If you're regularly experiencing discomfort, it may be time for an eye examination. At David Gould Opticians, we'll assess your vision, discuss your symptoms and recommend the most appropriate solution for your lifestyle.

Have you noticed yourself holding books a little further away? Or perhaps road signs don't seem quite as sharp as they used to?

The truth is, our eyes naturally change throughout our lives.

Whether it's a gradual change in your prescription or the need for reading glasses as you get older, these changes are a normal part of life. That's why regular eye examinations are so important.

Routine eye tests don't just check whether your prescription has changed—they also help monitor the health of your eyes, allowing us to identify potential problems as early as possible.

At David Gould Opticians, we're here to help you see clearly at every stage of life, with friendly, personalised care tailored to your individual needs.

If it's been a while since your last eye examination, we'd love to welcome you to one of our practices.
