About
Barnard Associates was started in 1979 by Professor Simon Barnard (now based in his London Practice - Barnard Levit Optometrists) and was created to provide high-quality patient care, specialising in eye health and paediatric eye care for the residents of Brighton and Hove.
The Practice has gone on to develop a distinction throughout Sussex and further afield, as a Practice for exceptional clinical eye care and is particularly known for its paediatric care especially with children with visual difficulties associated with Dyslexia and other learning difficulties.Soon after my qualifications, I returned to my birthplace, Trinidad, to work with a small optical company called Ferriera Optical.

Contact Lenses
Advances in technology (materials and designs) mean even more people than ever can wear contact lenses regardless of age or prescription, including having astigmatism or needing different corrections for distance and near. There are contact lenses available that will meet your needs, and we specialise in finding that contact lens for you.
Glasses
One of our dispensing opticians will discuss your prescription, lifestyle and vocational needs to find the best ophthalmic solutions for you.

Children’s Vision
Children are often unaware of issues with their eyes, or vision and many eye problems may not give rise to any symptoms. Early detection is key to successful treatment of eye conditions and is crucial for their development socially and to the best of their ability. If there is a family history of eye problems, then children would be at a higher risk of developing one also.
Visual Assessment
There is a wealth of scientific research published in clinical academic journals suggesting that some types of visual problems may be correlated (associated) with specific learning difficulties, including dyslexia and dyspraxia.
Our Visual Assessment is tailored to investigate two broad aspects of "vision" with respect to people who are underachieving because of conditions, such as dyslexia, in accordance with guidelines suggested by the Medical Research Council and the College of Optometrist.It is not just a "sight test" but a full eye examination, including a further in-depth investigation of how the eyes and the eye muscles work together.
