Having moved to Northampton, after training in London, including time at Moorfields Eye Hospital, I started my first practice on Derngate and then took on the current practice in Far Cotton a few years later, eventually merging the two. All this time we have kept abreast of the latest technology and ideas as well as ensuring the practice has a clean and hygienic look with a good choice of frames, lenses and contact lenses.

Eyewear
Frames
At Mark Darling Eyecare & Opticians we have an excellent range of frames both traditional and more contemporary cutting edge styles. We carefully choose our frames to ensure they have quality and style.
Contact Lenses
Contact lenses can be life changing, improving cosmetics, giving better vision, improving confidence in the classroom, socially, out on the sports field or even in the office. New techniques such as Ortho-K even correct your vision while you sleep!
Sunglasses
We have a great selection of Ocean Blue and Dakota fashion sunglasses that can be made to your prescription starting from £99 complete with the latest Polarized lenses. Our Academy range are more sport specific.
THE STORY
Currently 18,000 people in Northampton trust Mark Darling to look after their eyes, shouldn’t you?
To be fair some of the 18,000 come from further afield, a couple have an annual trip down from Wick, Scotland! Probably because our philosophy is to treat everyone like you would your best friend and you always go the extra mile for your best friends.
