Did you know?

The most common form of glaucoma, initially has no symptoms.

Catch the disease early, and you have a great chance of preserving your vision for the years to come.

Make sure you visit the opticians for a check-up at least every 2 years; early detection is key.

Today we’re celebrating International Women’s Day. 💜

At Eye Folk Opticians, we’re proud to be a female-owned and female-led independent practice, built on care, expertise, and a passion for helping our community see clearly and feel confident in their eyewear.

Today is about recognising the incredible women who lead, support, inspire, and uplift others every day — in our team, our industry, and our community.

Here’s to women supporting women, breaking barriers, and continuing to lead with vision.

Our Mel is retiring (so she says 🤣, we are in denial)

Mel actually retired from optics quite a while ago! But Lucy asked her to come out of retirement and join us at Eye Folk nearly 7 years ago.

Mel has covered holidays and days off for our team in order for us to keep everything running smoothly for our patients.

THANK YOU Mel ❤️
Enjoy your retirement!

Today is World Book Day, and we know lots of little ones are enjoying dressing up and getting stuck into their favourite stories today!

If your child is struggling with eye strain when reading, perhaps getting headaches or avoiding reading altogether, it might be a good time for an eye test.

Children don’t need to be able to read or know their letters to have an eye test; we use a range of tools to check vision, so if you have any concerns, book them in to see our experts!

Children are entitled to free NHS eye tests and vouchers towards the costs of specs they may need. If you have any questions, please just ask. Our team are here to help.

We love that so many of our patients bring their whole families to see us.

We are particularly passionate about ensuring children feel at ease during their appointments, and leave us with well fitted glasses - really important if you want them to actually keep them on!

So don’t hesitate to book the whole family in - from pre-schoolers to teenagers and beyond - all are welcome.

👀 When Was Your Last Eye Test?

Be honest… has it been a while?

Your eyes can change gradually — which means you might not notice the strain, headaches, tiredness, or reduced night vision creeping in.

At Eye Folk Opticians, we offer:

✔ Thorough, unhurried eye examinations
✔ Advanced technology for detailed eye health checks
✔ Personal, independent advice
✔ A carefully curated selection of beautiful frames

Your eye test isn’t just about updating your prescription — it’s an important health check.

📅 Appointments are available
📞 Call us today, book online or message to book.

Because clear, comfortable vision makes every day better.

📍 Proudly caring for Folkestone and the surrounding community.

Looking at making more sustainable choices? There’s lots of innovation across the optical industry at the moment to make more eco-friendly products. You need to look no further than the unique brand Waterhaul, their frames are made from discarded fishing gear that’s been removed from the oceans.

The plastic fishing nets are recycled into brilliantly durable frames for glasses and sunglasses, which we stock here at Eye Folk.
