We're proud to be a family-run, award-winning opticians - caring for eyes since 1957. Over the years we have gained a reputation founded on expertise combined with a kind and helpful manner. In February 2011 we moved from number 63 to 64a High Street. A much larger, brighter and more modern practice was designed and fitted, offering the ability for more tests to be carried out. More advanced technology was also installed, including the ImpressionIST 3D Video Measurement System. It's fantastic to be an independent business who are a part of the Battle community and we look forward to seeing you soon!

David was very helpful, patient and kind. I was a little anxious about having an eye test as I had not had one for a while and was suffering with headaches. He put my mind at rest and offered practical helpful guidance. Thank you

David proved to be approachable, patient, and evidently skilled in his role. Sam was both helpful and efficient in their assistance.

Both David Botrill and the woman who assisted me with my glasses at the Battle Branch displayed exceptional service. Additionally, the other staff members were extremely helpful. I extend my gratitude to each and every one of them.

I can't remember the name of the optician I saw but he was excellent in every way .... friendly, informative and thorough. Also the young lady who helped me choose frames etc was very helpful, attentive and patient, in fact all the staff have very good customer skills which help make the whole experience a pleasant one. Sorry I can't remember individual names!

Thank you Natalie (we'll that's what the receipts say) for giving me such confidence in finding the perfect pair of glasses which I have always had so much embarrassment with in the past, it was a task I dreaded. Everyone in the shop is so helpful and the optician so thorough explaining everything. My loyalties remain with you forever despite living further away now. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Lisa

From start to finish, we received a wonderful service and experience. James put my daughter at ease with her eye test and was only to happy to explain everything. At not time did we feel rushed and everyone at the store was very welcoming and polite. We had been recommended here by a friend and have already passed this recommendation. Many thanks to everyone for making it such a happy experience for both myself and daughter. The reminders both via text and email are so useful. Thanks for a wonderful service.

Staff where fantastic, they all helped me pick frames for my new glasses, very polite, compassionate and empathetic. I recently have been diagnosed with bletharitis and the optician explained everything to me and made me feel more confident about my future with this disease. I will recommend my whole family to come here in the future. fantastic service x

A truly excellent opticians, thank you Team Barracloughs Battle. My eye examination with the brilliant David Bottrill noticed a potential eye condition that could have life changing vision issues. Mr Bottrill organised an immediate referral to the eye hospital. I can't thank him enough for his expertise and diligence. Also a special thanks to Natalie who started the whole process for me, a super quick appointment followed with superb customer care and explaining everything clearly with professionalism and kindness. I was lucky to be recommended to Barracloughs Battle, so I'm delighted to do the same for others. Thank you once again.

I have been wearing glasses for sometime now and wanted to try a new local opticians for my 2 year check up - I'm so glad I chose Barracloughs in Battle! From the moment I walked in the staff were super friendly all Covid protocols were outstanding. James carried out my eye test and I can safely say I have never had such a informative eye test in my life.

I want to wear contact lenses and James went through everything with me and I'm excited about my lens appointment in a couple of weeks time. Will throughly recommend to family and friends - thank you!

Finally accepting my vision shortfall I booked an appointment and was very pleasantly surprised by the exceptionally professional and friendly customer service. From the reception to the eye test to the honest "sales pitch" when choosing an appropriate pair of glasses. It is quite a large purchase ( i didn't realise ) and I was advised of the pros and cons of each option. They should be very proud of the branch

Really friendly staff. The ladies on reception greeted me with a smile and were charming. David Bottrill was really chatty and made the eye exam fly by always informing me at each step of what he was doing. Gwylym also was very attentive and didn't rush me to make a choice. Very happy with the service there. Thank you
