Every day this month the Chron is teaming up with the Northampton Town Centre Business Improvement District (BID) to feature a ‘Business of the Day’ – giving you more information about an independent firm in the town.
Today, we highlight Sheinman Opticians in Abington Street.
Sheinman Opticians was established in 1915 by A E Turville, one of the founders of modern optometry, and it has become one of Europe’s largest and most respected optometric practices.
Since its foundation the practice has been heavily involved in clinical research, leading to the development of techniques and instruments to improve sight testing and investigation of the eyes, vision correction and health assessment.
Owner John Sheinman said: “We manufacture on the premises and can offer a fast prescription service and respond instantly in emergencies. Having our own laboratory (established in 1922) ensures that we can achieve a completely accurate result. Wherever possible, we use Nikon spectacle lenses, considered the finest ophthalmic prescription lenses available.
“We are also a specialist contact lens centre. We have established large banks of soft and gaspermeable lenses and in most cases we can fit and supply the lenses on the same day.
“As a research ophthalmic and optometric practice our aim is to continually explore new and more advanced ways of bringing our patients the best in eye-care and eyewear.”
