About Us

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 continues to focus on providing value through personal
service, using 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 glasses 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
eye care 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.
