We’re proud to be an independent practice where patient care always comes first, and joining us as our new Optometrist means being part of a team that values clinical freedom, supports your development, and encourages you to bring your personality and expertise to the role. We first opened our Polegate doors back in 1986. 23 years later we had a major refit, bringing the practice up to date with our other stores. By creating more space, it also allowed for the installation of more advanced technology, which we invested in a few years after the refit. The Polegate store was rebranded on 14 August 2016 and had a further refresh of the interior and exterior a while back.
