Leightons Opticians & Hearing Care

Fantastic, professional and caring service and expertise. I have been wearing contact lenses for many years, supplied by a different opticians, but felt that neither the comfort nor the vision of my previous lenses were very good. However once Indie had fitted me with other lenses, I couldn't believe the difference they made! I can now see properly (probably for the very first time!!) and the comfort of my new lenses is amazing. I can wear them all day and not feel an enormous desire to remove them by late afternoon - they are SO comfortable. Thank you so much - they really have changed my sight!!!

Absolutely amazing service! Having struggled with my vision for nearly 2 years, after a cataract operation at the age of 36 gave me double vision, I have battled with other opticians & hospitals to try and get some help. In desperation I made an appointment with Indie...not expecting much to be honest, but he actually listened to me, he didn’t fob me off, he genuinely listened and understood why I was struggling. His recommendation was contact lenses rather than my usual glasses. He took his time to explain to me why I was having so many issues and why contact lenses my help. Even though my case isn’t a simple one, he thought outside the box and I trialled the contact lenses. Not one of the previous opticians had even mentioned this before. Having had my second appointment today, I genuinely cannot thank Indie enough for helping me when so many others haven’t even tried. I will never see another optician. I am a customer for life. The time, care, friendliness and fantastic outcome in just 2 appointments is amazing! Thank you so much.

Indie and Sara have always made me and my family welcome and have been exceptionally supportive and professional at taking care of all aspects of eye care. They have invested in keeping their practice up to date with all the latest equipment I have full confidence in knowing my eye health is in excellent hands. Thank you see you at my next appointment.

I cannot thank Indie and the team at Leighton's enough! My 9 year old daughter has been wearing her contact lenses for a little over a month now and she's doing brilliantly! The care and support Indie gave us from consultation to teaching her how to put in and take out her lenses herself has been amazing. Indie was fun and reassuring and made the whole experience very easy and enjoyable for us. Thank you!

Unfortunately I am unable to give a positive review. Despite asking Leighton’s several times for my visual field scans to be emailed to me I have still not received them. They keep promising to forward but despite reminders it’s now coming up to 4 weeks and nothing …..

Indie and his team are brilliant. My eye check was really overdue and my glasses were falling apart. Trends have moved on and now most glasses have no pads but it did want one with them. They were very encouraging and helped me find a new frame that was not what I wanted, but what I needed. It's hard to try on glasses when you have severe myopia but one of the staff (if you are reading this review I'm sorry I can't remember your name!) took a picture of me and it's the best portrait I've ever had taken and the frames looked stunning and I just couldn't say no. My wife also agrees, and even my 3 year old keeps saying"daddy your neg glasses are very nice".

Brilliant service and experience with Leightons as a first-time customer yesterday. The team were welcoming and friendly. Preena who did my eye check-up was excellent and very informative.

Have you ever considered replacing the St Albans RECEPTIONIST??
I phoned this morning to make an appointment as no-one ever replied my online request.
The receptionist is of the most unpleasant, unprofessional rude type.
I had no choice but stop the conversation and look somewhere somewhere else.
Sack the receptionist - whoever she is, she aren't doing Leightons a favour.
