This December, we will be closing over Christmas and New Year.

If you require any spectacles or contact lenses, we recommend you order by Friday 8th December.  We will still get orders and deliveries after this date, but if you need them for Christmas, then best to order early.  

If you do have an eye problem, and we are closed, please follow the eye emergencies link to our page which has advice and guidance on what to do and where to go if you have an eye emergency and we are closed.

We look forward to seeing you in 2024 and celebrating our 120th year of trading.

Happy Christmas and we hope you have an amazing 2024

Here at Coton & Hamblin, as well as providing all the normal eye-care testing and examinations and dispensing of spectacles and contact lenses, we also offer a unique specialist Dry Eye Clinic. 

Usual Dry Eye treatment advises the use of hot compresses, massage, cleaning and lubricating drops. However, at Coton & Hamblin we have invested in the latest technology in the treatment of dry eyes.  This involves a more thorough initial diagnostic examination to assess the eyes and the use of the Eye-Light system which involves Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) and Low Level Light Therapy (LLLT) - 2 new treatments which help treat the underlying cause of dry eyes and provide relief from the symptoms of dry eyes.
