Advanced Eye Examinations in Haywards Heath

Unlock the full potential of your vision through one of the most comprehensive eye examinations available.

Our advanced eye tests use the Rodenstock DNEye® Scanner, a technology not commonly found in standard optometry practices. This allows us to analyse thousands of data points from your eyes, delivering an exceptionally detailed understanding of your visual system.

The result is not just a prescription, but a clearer picture of your overall eye health, enabling earlier detection, greater accuracy, and truly personalised vision correction.

Contact Lenses

Bespoke Contact Lens Care

Contact lenses are not one-size-fits-all, and we don’t treat them that way.

We take the time to thoroughly assess your eye health, visual needs, and lifestyle before recommending the most suitable lenses and solutions. Using precise measurements, we ensure an optimal fit for comfort, stability, and long-term eye health.

Whether your prescription is simple or complex, our approach ensures your contact lenses feel natural, comfortable, and dependable.

Frames

Precision Eyewear, without Compromise

Precisely Chosen for You. Exceptional vision deserves exceptional eyewear.

Using advanced measurement technology, we assess not only your prescription, but also your eye position, facial features, and frame alignment. This ensures your lenses and frames work together seamlessly, enhancing comfort, clarity, and aesthetics.

Our carefully curated collection includes leading independent and designer brands, chosen for their craftsmanship, innovation, and timeless style. The result is eyewear that looks refined, feels perfectly balanced, and performs exactly as it should.

Dry AMD Treatment

Advanced Dry AMD Treatment Now Available

We are proud to offer treatment with the Alcon Valeda® Light Delivery System, a clinically proven therapy for individuals with Dry Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD).

During your initial consultation, our specialists will take time to discuss your diagnosis in detail and assess your suitability for treatment. Together, we’ll develop a personalised care plan designed to support your long-term visual health.

This is advanced eye care, delivered with clarity, compassion, and precision.

Flexible payments options for eye care and glasses

At Dolphins Optometrists we believe that excellent eye care should also be practical and accessible. That is why we offer Care Plans. Our care packages provide both clinical support and excellent value for patients who want consistent, high quality eye care. We can tailor these to help meet your needs allowing you to pursue the best available.

The Dolphins team were friendly and only too willing to assist. Their knowledge of what was available to me was second to none. Thank you for all your help.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Never had such a thorough eye ‘test’. The optometrist was extremely friendly.  The ‘health’ of my eyes was also thoroughly examined.  Various tests were done using state of the art technology.  I was shown the results and the X-rays were discussed. I was then taken to meet a lovely lady who took her time showing me their extensive range of frames.   She helped me choose a pair that suited me.  The range they have is unbelievable.  If you like the frame but want another colour, they can get it.  Even the time she spent on ensuring they would fit right was thorough.  Measuring various aspects ie pupil distance etc.  I would not hesitate to recommend them and will be loyal customer going forward.
