Services
Eye Tests
Our thorough eye tests assess vision quality, eye health, and systemic conditions like diabetes. Conducted by experienced opticians, these 30-minute examinations include ocular health checks, glaucoma screening, and tailored advice. We recommend biennial tests for adults and annual checks for children and seniors.
Designer Frames
We curate premium designer frames from leading brands, focusing on style and fit. Our collection includes petite-sized options and a digital dispensing system to visualise frames. Expert advisors help clients choose lightweight, durable frames that complement facial features and lifestyle needs.
Contact Lenses
Specialist contact lens fittings address complex prescriptions, dry eye, and handling difficulties. We offer extended-wear, multifocal, and toric lenses. Personalised training ensures confidence in insertion and removal, with follow-up support for long-term comfort and eye health.
Zeiss Specialist
As Zeiss specialists, we provide advanced lenses with DuraVision Platinum coatings for clarity and durability. Solutions include varifocals with wide fields of view, transition lenses, and polarised sunglasses. These lenses reduce glare, enhance contrast, and adapt to changing light conditions.
Back Surface Technology
Rear-surface varifocals place prescriptions closer to the eye, minimising distortion. This technology offers wider viewing zones and easier adaptation. Ideal for complex prescriptions, these lenses improve intermediate and near vision without compromising distance clarity.

Questions
How often should I have an eye test?
We recommend eye tests every two years for adults. Children and seniors should have annual tests, or more frequently if advised by our opticians.
Can I try frames virtually?
Our digital dispensing system allows you to visualise frames on your face using photos. We can also email these images for a second opinion.
What are the benefits of Zeiss lenses?
Zeiss lenses offer superior clarity, reduced glare with DuraVision coatings, and custom varifocal designs. They provide wider fields of view and adapt to light changes for optimal vision.
Do you have petite-sized frames?
Yes, we stock hard-to-find petite frames designed for smaller faces. These ensure comfort and proper fit without compromising style or vision quality.
Are polarised sunglasses suitable for driving?
Yes, polarised lenses reduce glare from windscreens and roads, improving visibility. However, they may affect LCD display readability in vehicles.

Mark and his team at Lytham Eyewear are fantastic. Recently purchased a pair of glasses and had lenses replaced in another pair. Was able to take some frames home to try out over a few day. Cant recommend them highly enough!

Ive been a customer of Lytham Eyewear since day one. Mark and the team give such a personal service and are very accommodating. I even had my contact lenses hand delivered to my door the same day by Mark, due to not being able to attend the shop! They have a large choice of glasses frames and on occasions over the years where I have lost my glasses or ripped my lenses, they have got me replacements pretty much straight away. I highly recommend Lytham Eyewear to everyone!
