Navigating roads easily in the dark 🚗
As the evenings draw in and we find ourselves driving in darker conditions more often, are you feeling less confident behind the wheel after sunset?
Whether you're driving home from work, heading out for evening social events, or navigating unfamiliar roads in the dark, glare from oncoming headlights and reduced visibility shouldn't make your journey stressful or unsafe.
The lenses we recommend for night driving tackle these exact challenges:
✅ Superior glare reduction from headlights and street lighting
✅ Advanced anti-reflective coating for clearer vision
✅ Improved comfort with less eye strain during night driving
✅ Enhanced safety confidence for evening and night journeys
✅ Better visibility without the distraction of uncomfortable glare
Your safety on the road matters to us. Don't let poor night vision keep you from enjoying evening activities or feeling secure during necessary night-time journeys.

Speak to our team about the best lens solution for safe night driving.

Our Story

We are a family owned and run independent opticians, situated in the small market town of Bingley. Our staff comprises a registered Optometrist and a registered Dispensing Optician as well as our Senior Optical Adviser.

The Practice was started in 1951 by Donald Eric Howarth (David’s father) and moved to 158 Main Street in the 1970’s when the row of shops we were in was knocked down to build the Arts Centre.

David Howarth qualified as an Optometrist in 1985 after studying in London and Hull, also gaining a masters in Optometry from Bradford University in 1988. He took over the practice from his father in 1986. A very experienced and thorough clinician, many hours spent in the practice as a youngster have given him a unique understanding of spectacle repairs and ophthalmic lenses. He has recently gained a certificate in Glaucoma Management from Bradford University.

Helen Howarth qualified as a Dispensing Optician in 1997 after joining the practice in 1993. She is a bit of a geek about ophthalmic lenses and can talk for hours on the subject. Just tell her you trust her judgement and she’ll stop!
