We are thrilled to announce that Barracloughs the Opticians has been selected as one of just 100 practices across the country to host a special visit as part of a major national milestone. ABDO Vice President Deborah Bill will be visiting our Bexhill practice on Thursday 20th August to mark the centenary of the dispensing optics profession.

For four decades, we have been proud to serve the Polegate community. Since opening our doors in 1986, we’ve built our practice on a foundation of unwavering trust and the peace of mind that comes from seeing a familiar, reassuring face.

As a dispensing optician, I’m seeing more and more children developing myopia, also known as short-sightedness - and one of the simplest ways parents can help may be by encouraging more time outdoors and less time on screens.

At Barracloughs, we believe your eyes play a unique and vital role in revealing more than just how well you see. As we approach World Health Day on Tuesday, 7 April, we’re highlighting how our investment in pioneering technology allows us to detect life-threatening health conditions during our specialist eye examinations.

Spring has officially sprung, and at Barracloughs, we think the world is looking pretty spectacular right now. To celebrate the season of new beginnings, we’re inviting our younger patients to get creative and “frame” the season in their own unique way!
