Optical & Audiology services in Banstead

Welcome to Rawlings Opticians & Hearing Care Banstead – proudly continuing the legacy of quality eye and hearing care at 20 High Street, the long-standing home of Eyecare at Banstead Village.

As a trusted presence in the community for over two decades, Eyecare is known for its friendly, professional service and dedication to family-focused care. We’re delighted to build on this foundation as part of the Rawlings group – a heritage independent opticians and audiology provider established in 1895 – bringing over a century of expertise to this beautiful Surrey village.

Banstead branch has a boutique-inspired interior style, creating a calm, welcoming space that reflects our values: personalised service, clinical excellence, and a friendly, no-pressure approach.

Optical Services in Banstead

Our experienced Optometrists carry out comprehensive eye examinations using the latest diagnostic technology, including OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography). This powerful imaging tool helps detect signs of eye conditions such as glaucoma and macular degeneration long before symptoms appear.

We also provide:

Contact lens fittings (including soft and rigid gas permeable lenses)

Children’s eye care, from early vision screening to stylish frames for teens

Specialist appointments for dry eye, sudden vision changes, and more

We carry designer eyewear collections, featuring both classic and cutting-edge styles from leading brands like Gucci and Lindberg. With expert dispensing by our friendly team who take time to find the perfect fit – no rush, no hard sell. Whether you’re after a high-fashion frame or an ultra-lightweight lens, we’ll help you see (and feel) your best.

Audiology Care in Banstead

We’re also proud to provide a full private hearing care service – with the same personalised, independent ethos that Rawlings is known for.

Services include:

  • Modern, discreet hearing aids programmed specifically for your lifestyle
  • Appointments are available with our qualified Audiology team in our comfortable, sound-treated consultation room.

We’re thrilled to be part of the Banstead community and to welcome former Banstead Eyecare patients – along with new faces – into the Rawlings family. Come and meet the team, and discover why generations have trusted Rawlings with their eye and hearing care since 1895.

What our Banstead (Formerly EyeCare) customers say about us

  • Superb professionalism all through the processes of eye examination, vision correction dispensing and fitting. Attention to detail and taking the time to get it right is so striking. Well done to all involved.

    First experience at this optician following poor experience at a national chain. Very impressed with the thoroughness of the eye examination, didn’t feel rushed at any point. Excellent help with choice of frames, Ushma took lots of time to find the right frame and get the correct measurements. The clarity of the lens on collection was amazing, so much clearer and sharper than any previous specs I have had. Very happy with this optician.

    Great opticians. Much better experience than with Boots or Specsavers.

  • Annual visit the usual excellent service I class this as my face jewellery time. Eye testing very thorough attention to detail spot on. Selection of glasses seem to have broadened to offer a cheaper range this visit. I prefer a more expensive frame so they last longer and take 3-4 lens changes and still look like new. Big thank you to the team good glasses are essential I value their efforts.

    Very good experience when purchasing prism glasses. These were to replace distance glasses with a temporary prism patch, following the onset of double vision. The new glasses were excellent, with no etched lines, as had the patch, and I was very pleased with the service I received from Eye-Care in Banstead.

    A very friendly, welcoming and professional practice with state of the art equipment and an excellent selection of frames. I had a very good customer experience when I was looking for sunglasses. Ushma helped me find the perfect frame!

Jessica Tovey

(RHAD) BA Sp&A (Hons)

I qualified as a speech therapist and audiologist in 2015 in South Africa and having a deeper insight into the mutual influences of both the hearing system and speech system and how this influences the brain functioning enables me to treat my patients from a holistic point of view.

I have always had a deep passion for helping people and will always go above and beyond for my patients. I love really getting to know my patients and giving them back the gift of hearing so they can reconnect with their loved ones.

Initially I practiced full time at a government hospital (NHS equivalent) in South Africa which developed my passion for working with patients from all walks of life. Here I gained experience working with TB, noise exposure, age related hearing loss, middle ear pathologies and syndromes to name a few. I then moved to the UK in 2020 where I worked in an independent practice which strengthened my skills in hearing technology and tinnitus. I have experience working with both adults and pediatrics in Audiology and my special interests are microsuction, age related hearing loss, tinnitus and noise exposure.

I maintain current knowledge by engaging in various courses and CPD activities and I strive to continually grow as an Individual. I enjoy developing and pioneering innovative ideas for practice and clinical growth and I’m looking forward to bringing this into Rawlings hearing care and working together to provide patient centered care.

I graduated from Ulster University with a first class honours degree in 2011. I made the move to England to complete my pre-registration period in West Sussex and joined Rawling’s in late 2014. The years have flown by and I have progressed a lot since joining the company.

I’m based at the Purley branch where I enjoy seeing our regular loyal patient base. This branch is actively involved in local shared care schemes in conjunction with the NHS. This allows us to see and treat patients with minor eye conditions without them seeing their GP or the hospital eye service. I find this area challenging and rewarding as I come across some very interesting ocular cases along with meeting new people.

I am also keen on offering additional services such as myopia management and am fortunate to have access to myopia management spectacles, soft contact lenses along with the ability to perform orthokeratology, all of which have been a great success. I like to keep up to date with advances in the optical industry along with technology and attend regular training events and conferences.

In my spare time, I enjoy relaxing with friends, keeping fit in the gym along with heading back to Ireland to visit family.
