Testimonials

I was expertly treated by Phillipa Kingston and Sarah Farrant. They handled me with great care and patience and diagnosed and treated my eye condition. I could not recommend their service more highly. Thank you very much.

Fantastic Service and very thorough. Don't treat you like a piece of Cattle and I must say refreshing change from previous experience at a well known Opticians!. Excellent choice of frames and very quick in making them up. Thank You

I have be going to Earlam & Christopher for years and I love the care & attention and friendly atmosphere there. Everyone is very patient with me and they understand my needs. Would definitely recommend them to anyone. Wheelchair user

I am very relieved to have found this excellent optometrists, where the care, friendliness and expertise that is provided is most impressive. At the same time the standard of care offered to me as a blepharitis sufferer has also been superb - a huge improvement on my experience at other opticians.

Many thanks to Earlam and Christopher, especially Sarah. I have a complex prescription and issues with my sight which are not straightforward. I was recommended to go to Earlam and Christopher by my consultant ophthalmologist and thanks to Sarah’s expertise and patience I have been able to recommence my hobbies which include needlework and tapestry which I thought were gone forever. Thank you so much.
