Leightons Sutton opened its doors in its current high street location over 16 years ago, when the company took on both Gordon's Opticians and Linwood Strong Opticians. The branch is highly respected by local GP practices as well as the local community, due to the high quality eyecare provided. Some patients have been visiting us for more than 50 years!

NHS Sight Tests
Our NHS Sight Tests are free, comprehensive eye examinations available for those who are eligible. These tests include vision assessment, eye health checks, and the detection of general health issues. Typically lasting 30 minutes, they are usually recommended every two years for most people. Additional costs apply for optional OCT and Optomap scans.
Children’s Eye Tests
It’s essential to ensure your child's vision is healthy and their eyes are developing properly for their overall well-being and learning. Regular eye examinations help detect and address vision issues early. At Leightons, children's eye tests are free through the NHS-funded eye care service.
Enhanced Eye Test
Our Enhanced Eye Test offers a comprehensive 40-minute examination of your vision, prescription, eye muscles, and overall eye health. It includes either OCT or Optomap scans, providing detailed insights into any changes in your eye health. Both OCT and Optomap are included if you choose to upgrade to our Ultimate Eye Examination.
Private Eye Examination
Our Private Eye Tests offer a comprehensive eye examination, including retinal photography. This 30-minute test assesses vision, determines prescriptions, evaluates eye muscles, and checks overall eye health. Additional Optomap imaging or OCT scans are available if you choose to upgrade to our Enhanced Eye Test.
Ultimate Eye Examination
The Leightons Ultimate Eye Examination offers a comprehensive eye examination lasting about 45 minutes. It includes Optomap and OCT scans, providing detailed 2D and 3D images of the eyes. The exam covers vision assessment, prescription determination, eye muscles evaluation and overall eye health checks. It is included in MyLeightons Care Plans.
Contact Lenses
A contact lens appointment is a thorough evaluation for both new and existing contact lens wearers. For new wearers, it includes an eye health assessment, lens fitting, and instructions on lens care and usage. For existing wearers, it involves a check-up and potential refitting. This appointment also involves scheduling a follow-up to ensure optimal lens fit, comfort, and vision clarity for all contact lens wearers.
Dry Eye Assessment
A dry eye assessment involves a comprehensive evaluation that includes gathering a detailed patient history and conducting a series of diagnostic tests to accurately diagnose and determine the severity and type of dry eye disease.
Glasses Repair
A glasses repair appointment is a service to fix and restore your broken or damaged eyewear to good condition quickly and efficiently. The optician can often perform minor repairs like adjustments, screw replacements, or small part replacements. For more complex repairs, they may need to send the glasses away to get them fixed.
Emergency Eye Care
Emergency eye care is a service for urgent eye health issues, such as sudden pain, vision changes, or eye injuries. The process involves triage, followed by an appointment with an optometrist within 72 hours, or a referral to eye casualty if necessary. For urgent care during our normal opening hours, please call us first. Outside these hours, contact NHS 111.
Free Hearing Tests
Free hearing tests offer a comprehensive evaluation of your hearing and ear health. They typically include a review of your medical history, a physical examination of your ears, various hearing tests, and may involve additional specialised assessments. The hearing assessment takes around one hour and once complete you’ll receive a full breakdown of your results.
Hearing Aids
Hearing aid appointments involve evaluating your hearing needs and fitting suitable devices. Following a full hearing assessment, your audiologist may recommend hearing aid solutions. The appointment includes discussing hearing aid options, fitting the devices, and providing instructions on their use and care. For a hearing aid review, a 30-minute routine check-up appointment addresses your concerns without requiring a full hearing assessment.
Ear Wax Removal
Ear wax removal is a procedure to clear excess or impacted ear wax from the ear canal. For £70, it includes a brief examination, followed by one of several removal methods such as microsuction, water irrigation, or manual extraction. The appointment takes 30 minutes, depending on the amount and position of the wax, and the specific technique used.
Home Visits
Home visits offer a comprehensive hearing care service in the comfort of your own home. It includes a full hearing assessment using portable equipment, conducted by a professional audiologist. The service provides everything available in-branch, including video otoscopy, tinnitus advice, wax removal, and hearing aid demonstrations and fittings.
Tinnitus Management
Tinnitus management is a comprehensive appointment designed to help individuals cope with and reduce the impact of tinnitus. This involves assessing underlying causes, providing a hearing evaluation, and offering various treatment options to help patients manage their symptoms. Book a full hearing assessment and discuss tinnitus concerns with your audiologist.
Hearing Protection
A hearing protection appointment is a personalised consultation to assess your specific needs and provide tailored hearing protection solutions. An audiologist will discuss your lifestyle, work environment, and noise exposure, then recommend appropriate options such as custom-moulded ear plugs for various activities. The appointment typically takes 30 minutes, depending on individual requirements and whether custom moulds are needed.
