Dearest gentle reader of Long Stratton… 👀✨

It seems the time has come to share a little gossip from behind the scenes. I’ve been busy putting pen to paper on our very first quarterly newsletter—now just getting its final touches!

It’s our way of keeping in touch between visits (because a lot can happen in a year or two 👓), packed with helpful tips, behind-the-scenes snippets, and a few exclusive offers too.

Curious to see if I can make optician life interesting enough to stop you hitting unsubscribe? 😂me too! Tap the link in the comments below and I’ll send you a copy as soon as it’s ready.

And truly—I’d love your feedback. Anything you’d like to see included next time, just let me know 💌

🌞 Sneak Peek Alert! 🌞

If you’ve spotted us sneaking off outside for a few too many “selfies” this week… 👀 guilty! But can you blame us?! With sunshine like this, we’ve been putting our new favourite frames to the test 😎

(Hopefully that explains the selfie shoot to the Hairmale team who definitely caught us a few times 📸)

Say hello to our latest discovery from the London Optical Expo we visited a few weeks back ✨

These clever frames come with a magnetic polarised sun clip – meaning you’ve got two pairs in one! Pop the clip on when the sun’s out, and slide it back into its protective sleeve when it’s not. Simple, stylish, and seriously practical 🙌

Let’s be honest… transitions aren't always what we hope for in the car (hello, UV-blocked windscreens 🚗), so these are an absolute game changer!

This is just a little sneak peek of what’s landed at Long Stratton Eye Care… and trust us, you’re going to want to see the full collection 👓

Pop in, say hello, and book a styling appointment to see the whole collection for yourself!

And honestly… hasn’t it been lovely to see the sun this week? ☀️

When it comes to eyewear, you shouldn’t have to compromise.

You deserve frames that tick every box — style, comfort, quality — because we all know you get what you pay for.

That’s why we offer flexible payments, allowing you to spread the cost over several months with no interest and no penalties. So you can choose the eyewear you really want, without cutting corners.

Great quality. Made more affordable.

With frames starting from £90 and an incredible range to choose from, there’s something for everyone. From subtle and discreet to bold beautiful acetates we have something for everyone!

And for even better value, ask about our Eyeplan membership for exclusive pricing.

👀✨ I Spy … Something Stylish Coming Soon! ✨👀

We’ve just returned from the exhibition at the weekend and we've spotted some fantastic new ranges that are now on order — and we’re so excited for them to arrive! 🎉

We’re thrilled to be adding beautiful sunglasses from Quay to our collection. Available in stunning colours including classic black and timeless tortoiseshell, they combine gorgeous styling with high-quality, comfortable frame fits.

We also discovered a brilliant new sun clip range. Featuring polarised sunclips for clearer vision and reduced glare, they’re perfect for:
🚗 Driving
🌿 Walking outdoors
🐶🐾 Walking the Dog
🌊 Watersports
☀️ general sunny days
If you wear prescription spectacles, these are a fantastic solution — one frame really can do more!

Keep an eye on our page 👀 (pun intended!) for arrival updates… we can’t wait to show you 👓✨

Ps sadly Paula played it safe and didn't opt for the final ones!

The sun has finally decided to show up 🌞 and with the clocks changing in just a few weeks, those longer, brighter days are on their way!

That can only mean one thing… it’s time to get your sunglasses sorted 😎

We’ve just had a rare last-minute appointment become available for tomorrow — perfect if you’ve been meaning to update your prescription and get that pin-sharp vision ready for spring. Our new stock has landed, so you can refresh your look and protect your eyes in one go.

We don’t often get cancellations, so if you’d like to snap this up, give us a call now on 01508 532 669 before it’s gone!

📢A little update from your Long Stratton Eyecare team 📢

This week there is a temporary change to our opening hours. On Tuesday 24th February we will be closed and on Friday, 27th February, we’ll be closing the practice slightly earlier than usual — at 2:00pm —to get on the road as we’re heading down to the UK Optical Trade Show in London.

As well as hunting for beautiful new eyewear, we’ll be taking part in team training, attending talks from leading eye‑care professionals, and catching up with other independent practices. It’s a brilliant chance for us to stay up to date, inspired, and full of fresh ideas — all so we can keep doing our very best for the eyes of our Long Stratton community.

This is just a temporary change for this week. We’ll be back to our normal hours from Monday 3rd March at 9:00am.

We can’t wait to share everything we discover — from smart workwear styles to fabulously funky shapes and colours. There’s lots of lovely things coming.

Watch this space 👀

Sarah‑Jane, Karen & Paula

We’re making a little change to keep giving you the time and care you deserve. NHS‑eligible patients are still very welcome, children’s exams are even more subsidised, and Eyeplan stays exactly the same.

Same friendly team, same care — just more time for you, whenever you need us!
