About us
WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO
As a group of three ‘house’ practices we are not like other optometrists. Your care has always come first at Flint Optometry. Always mindful of our established reputation for high-quality expert care, our directors Peter Rockett and Ed Lyons are building on the work of their predecessors – most recently Dennis Rumble and Brenda Berg - to create an optometry destination based on thorough care and the needs of patients. Whether you are looking for your first pair of varifocals, contact lenses for partying, optical corrections for sport, have more complex needs like cataract or keratoconus or are concerned about your child’s myopia we are pleased to listen and offer our expertise.
Suky Kaur
Suky is Senior Dispenser and Practice Growth Manager at Flint Optometry. Having worked in optics for over 25 years mostly in independent practice, I bring invaluable experience to the team. As well as extensive dispensing expertise, I am also competent in delivering contact lens teaches, OCT imaging, and other clinical techniques. Patients compliment my ability to select the perfect spectacle frame (often first time!) and deliver honest advice. I specialise in spectacle lens advice and guidance.
Edward Lyons
Having initially enjoyed being a young patient at the practice, Ed joined for his pre-registration year in 2000 and has been key to the modernisation and specialisation of what we offer. Along with seeing both NHS & private patients for all forms of eye care, including contact lenses, dyslexia and more, Ed has a special interest in Sports Vision. Ed’s innovative approach to assessing the visual profile of an athlete has seen his clients win domestic, national and international titles, and even the odd promotion to the Premier League!
Having assessed clients from 38 countries around the world, he is uniquely experienced in all aspects of vision and sport and has founded his own successful eyewear company Edwards Eyewear producing high quality spectacle frames. Through Ed’s work, we were delighted to win the accolade of Sports Vision Practice of The Year at the Optician Awards. He regularly features in Clay Shooting magazine in addition to writing for Clay Shooting Success & Shootclay.co.uk
