Exciting things are happening at Hayes Opticians! ✨

After an unfortunate burst pipe earlier this year, we’re very pleased to say that the time has finally come to give the practice a little makeover!

To allow the renovation work to take place, the practice will be closed from Tuesday 1st September, reopening on Monday 21st September.

But don’t worry, the Hayes team will still be here to help! 👓

The team will be on hand throughout the closure for any enquiries and, where possible, to help with collections and anything else you may need. You can still contact us as usual on 01803 291605 or [email protected].

We apologise for any inconvenience while the work is taking place and really appreciate your patience. We can’t wait to welcome you back and show you our refreshed practice very soon! 💙✨

When it comes to myopia (short sight), correcting your child’s eyesight today won’t protect them for tomorrow. The younger a child develops short sightedness, the further it evolves and the stronger it becomes.
Today, most myopic children wear standard ophthalmic lenses, which only correct short sightedness. Stellest® lenses not only correct myopia but also control its progression. Essilor® Stellest® lenses slow down myopia progression by 67% on average, compared to single vision lenses, when worn 12 hours a day.
