A Family Business
Our history
Leightons Opticians, a family owned business, was established in 1928 by H. O. Leighton, the father of the current chairman, Richard Leighton. The first practice was opened in Southampton and focused on providing a highly personalised service, employing ophthalmic medical practitioners and dispensing opticians at the core of the business. Drawing upon the formula of service and quality, Leightons continued to successfully expand its optician operations in the South East.
Leightons – experts in vision and eye care
Leightons continues to focus on providing value through personal service, via highly professional, qualified staff and by offering the latest technologies from the world's leading manufacturers and optician technology providers. All retail shops are designed for customer comfort and provide an extensive selection of designer and non-designer frames and sunglasses.
Leightons values its family heritage and encourages everyone in the company to value and foster a close-knit attitude. There is a shared goal of achieving 100% customer satisfaction through an individual approach to every customer and the provision of quality eyecare by fully qualified GOC registered optometrists and dispensing opticians.
We are proud of our professional staff; we encourage a friendly, understanding and consultative attitude; and we seek to support the local communities in which we live and work.
