About Mark English Opticians
Mark English Opticians at 228 High Street is a small, traditional independent practice where the optician has been working closely with local families for over 20 years. The practice offers NHS sight tests, private eye examinations, and contact lenses. Opening hours are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 9am to 5pm (with a lunchtime break from 1pm to 2pm), Wednesday and Saturday mornings until noon. This is a no-frills practice focused on personal service and clinical thoroughness rather than designer showrooms — the kind of place where the optician knows your name and remembers your prescription history.
