Barton Eyecare is the founding member of the Health Hub located at Barton Surgery. It's a multi-team approach to providing clinical excellence and patient care.
Previous work in hospital, national Opticians and small independent settings has provided Steve with experience in all areas of eyecare including complex contact lenses, diabetic retinopathy screening, pre and post operative cataract assessment, low vision and paediatric eyecare. He enjoys community eyecare most and the variety it brings.
Coming from a seaside town in Northern Ireland, Steve fell in love with S.Devon and moved here in 2012 with his wife, Sally.
Laura is a fully qualified Dispensing Optician (FBDO) which means she is skilled in interpreting your prescription into a pair of spectacles that provide optimum visual performance. This involves listening to your lifestyle and vocational requirements to enable her to make suitable recommendations on lens type, tints and coatings. Another essential element of dispensing is ensuring the frame is comfortable and aesthetically pleasing. Laura can help and advise you with frame choice, as a poorly fitting frame can have a negative impact on lens performance. She also believes strongly in seeing you once your spectacles are ready so any necessary adjustments can be made. She has perfected her dispensing skills with 20 years of experience and we feel the knowledge she has gained and her enthusiasm helps set her apart.
When not at work Laura loves walking, running, cycling and cooking. She also enjoys meeting people, so feel free to pop in and say hello, or book an appointment with her where she would be only too happy to discuss any queries you may have about spectacles.
Join the team? Any Opticians relies heavily on the hard work and professionalism of the staff. If you want to work in a busy, patient focused and relaxed environment contact us confidentially on steve@bartoneyecare.co.uk or pop in for a chat.
