The Eye Place, Towcester (inc John Carrington Opticians)

Located in a small market town in Northampton, John Carrington Opticians was established over 40 years ago. John’s ethos was providing the best quality eye care to his patients and was the first high street opticians to have a camera to photograph the back of the eye. Acquired by Alex Kemp in 2019, The Eye Place group is focused on continuing this quality of care by introducing high end technology to provide the most thorough eye care possible.

We tried two national High Street opticians when my 7 year old son refused to wear his glasses. One of my husbands clients recommended The Eye Place. We took along Rupert's other glasses to his appointment. Immediately, faults were identified with his previous prescriptions, and Rupert was given a new set of glasses. As he put them on, his first words were 'Wow, mum - I can see your necklace.' He now happily wears them without any issues at all. There are very few places that offer such a personal service with the same faces everytime you visit. I would highly recommend The Eye Place.

The Eye Place in Towcester took over from the excellent John Carrington Opticians and, having taken the business to new premises across the road, it has elevated the service to the next level. Bright, spacious and with new equipment, this Optician continues to provide the friendly and professional eye care I came to expect at Carrington’s. The team always has time for their customers and it is always a pleasure to visit.
