Independent opticians in Steyning
Robinson Opticians was set up in 1985 by Nigel and Dawn Robinson, as a family run Opticians. Jo Quinn, who is our main Optometrist at the practice, used to work for the family business covering Mrs Robinson’s days off. When the owners came up for retirement, they wanted the business to be passed on to a new owner that would equally treasure its ethos and patients. Jo Quinn and Matt Smee, jointly acquired the business in July 2023 and continue in Robinson’s legacy with the mission of putting its patients and their patients’ experience at the forefront.

What our customers say about us
Incredibly thorough eye examination that you rarely get elsewhere. I have complicated vision and the level of service and examination is really imperative for me. I would recommend 100%
Helen Brookes
Long established local optician with strong following within Steyning community. I travel some distance to visit Robinson Opticians. I find their attention to customer service outstanding and they are always honest — selling quality frames and lenses at fair prices and never trying to oversell to me. Friendly, good communication and follow-up over the years has been excellent.

Very nice and welcoming. I enjoy coming in here because they are so friendly.
Thomas Tearle
I had a great experience at Robinson Opticians. The Optometrist carried out a thorough eye examination. The staff at Robinson’s were friendly, professional and very welcoming. I felt like I mattered, which is not an experience you get at the national high street Opticians.
Glenda Davies
I am very happy that I visited Robinson Opticians. Having recently moved to the area, they were recommended to me by a friend. I love my new glasses. Out of habit and not knowing what would suit me, I have opted for the same style frame for many years. The team at Robinson’s spent a lot of time with me, providing advice and helping me to choose my fabulous new frames that really enhance my appearance. I’ve had so many compliments from my friends. Thank you Robinson Opticians. Lovely job!
Maddy Sands
I was experiencing floaters in one of my eyes, which made me feel very anxious and concerned. I contacted Robinson Opticians in the morning. They very kindly called me back within 10 minutes. Jo the Optometrist, and her team, put in great effort to accommodate me that same day. Jo kindly gave up most of her lunch hour to assist me. Jo went above and beyond, she dealt with my situation professionally and was very caring in terms of my feelings.
