Our Uckfield store exclusive!

Discovering the unique beauty of your eyes

So many colours and patterns within the community!

At Barracloughs, we believe every eye is a masterpiece. No two are the same; each consists of a completely unique combination of colour, shape, size and intricate patterns.

To celebrate this individuality, we ran a special pop-up Iris Photography studio at our Uckfield practice on Friday 27th March 2026. This allowed many of you to discover the hidden details of your own vision.

You came for the art, stayed for the snacks, and many of you left with a fresh new look, taking advantage of our exclusive deal on the day where you saved up to £75 on your eyewear!

A one-of-a-kind keepsake

Your eyes are as unique as a fingerprint - it was fantastic to see so many of you seeing them in breathtaking detail at our event, celebrating the intricate beauty of the iris.

Feedback for the Uckfield team...

"The service i received was wonderful. Lucy did everything to help me with the eye test and scan. I REALLY WANT TO THANK LUCY AND BARRACLOUGHS FOR FITTING ME IN."

“Lucia one again was confidence inspiring and reassuring, I value her expertise. Great service from the friendly team at Uckfield, thank you.”

“The whole experience went smoothly and all staff were friendly and helpful. I was particularly impressed with the ophthalmologist, Ritz. She was kind enough to give me some contact lenses so I could see to purchase new frames. Thank you, Ritz.”

“I was very impressed with Ritz Cannell, she was very thorough with the way she checked my eyes and to refer me to a Rapid Access Ophthalmology clinic for which I got an appointment 24 hours later.”

“Very pleasant staff & very thorough examination by the Optician who gave very detailed results. Highly recommend this practice.”

“I was so impressed with meeting Ritz, I couldn't fault her. She explained everything so clearly to me. I felt that she examined my eyes with great care. Thank you. Gabrielle”
