Started by Ophthalmic Optician Stephen Allot and Dispensing Optician Christine Henderson (ABDO), Henderson Opticians was built with the intention of providing the services they felt was most important. Providing an accurate, thorough and affordable eye examination matched with the highest standard of lenses tailored to your needs.
The most important function we perform is examining peoples' eyes from infants to the elderly. We will listen to any problems or symptoms you may be experiencing, and advise you to find the best possible solution. We are able to offer NHS or private examinations. We recommend you have an examination at least every 2 years (although this may vary, depending on age, from 3 months to 2 years). We use many different methods to examine your eyes, meaning your exam can be tailored to match your individual needs.
Henderson Opticians are independent. That means we can choose from any spectacle lens available to match your individual needs and budget. The combination of our advice and the choice of the right lens can make your spectacles look and perform better than ever. Ideal choice for driving, water sports and skiing offering complete UV protection, with the added bonus of eliminating disabling reflected glare. Available in grey, brown and also a photochromic combination. The power of two lenses; one for distance and one for near.
Whether choosing standard sunglasses or prescription protecting your eyes from UV rays is the single most important aspect. Sunglasses should block both UVA and UVB rays. Another important consideration is how much coverage the glasses offer. Even if the lenses protect you from UV, if they do not fit well enough to effectively block out unfiltered light from reaching your eyes, they are not performing properly. We have a good selection of sunglasses for ladies, gents and children on display all year round to try including some sports frames.

What a fantastic Optician. Christine, Stephen and the lovely lady on reception are professional, courteous and a pleasure to have done business with. Excellent customer care provided on all levels. Nothing was too much trouble, as Christine and Stephen explained in detail my options. No pressure or hard sale, just genuine and sincere advice. Thank you xx Would highly recommend.

I have been a customer at Hendersons for the past 3 years they helped me get to grips with using contact lenses and put a lot of time into this as I did struggle with them - Christine has recently helped me with some glasses that didn't fit correctly again she spent alot of time and effort to ensure I was happy with them - you don't get service like this from Specsavers! Highly recommended great local business Thankyou!

Very disappointed with the service we received! my son had his eyes tested for the very first time at henderson opticians of holmfirth. We was told he was short sited so would need glasses. So being as this was first time anyone in our family needed glasses we didn't know that he entitled to a voucher with his first purchase. So just bought a cheep pair of glasses from hendersons the same day not knowing they used the voucher on that pair.
The next day my son asked me if i could get him some brand name glasses so i took him to another opticians and found some glasses he liked for 60 with a NHS voucher 151 WITHOUT. It would have been helpful to have known about this voucher so it could have been put to better use rather than on a pair of budget glasses! But i guess they didn't want to give us the voucher to spend at another opticians. Very sneaky practice!

I've been going to Henderson Opticians for annual checkups for a while now and every time they are really friendly and helpful. The last time I went was the first time I needed to actually get some glasses (unfortunately inevitable); they've got a good range of glasses to choose from and they were really helpful at picking out the right style for my face and the right pricetag for my budget. Very patient and took the time to explain everything someone new to glasses needed to know! Would definitely recommend.
