At Parkhurst & Co. Styling Opticians, we believe your vision deserves the same precision as the lenses we prescribe. That’s why we’re proud to be recognised as Seiko Lens Specialists — part of a select group of independent opticians chosen by Seiko Optical for their expertise, technology, and commitment to delivering truly personalised vision.

Being a Seiko Lens Specialist isn’t just about offering premium lenses — it’s about understanding howĀ you see, whatĀ you do, and whyĀ your lenses should be as individual as you are.

šŸ‘ļø What Is a Seiko Lens Specialist?

A Seiko Lens SpecialistĀ is an independent practice trained and approved by Seiko Optical to offer their full range of premium lenses, supported by advanced fitting and measurement tools.

It means:

  • We’ve been personally selected by SeikoĀ for our optical expertise and patient care.

  • Our team has completed specialist Seiko trainingĀ for accurate, lifestyle-based lens recommendations.

  • We use Seiko’s iPad-based digital toolsĀ to capture essential measurements — including eye position, reading distance, and frame angle — to ensure every lens is tailored precisely to you.

  • We are part of an elite UK networkĀ of independent Seiko partners, trusted to deliver world-class vision with a personal touch.

Being a Seiko Lens Specialist means we don’t just fit lenses — we tailor vision.


āš™ļø The Technology Behind Seiko Lens Specialists

Seiko lenses are created using advanced digital surfacing technology, where every millimetre of the lens surface is individually optimised for your prescription and frame choice.

At Parkhurst & Co., we take precise measurements using Seiko’s iPad-based fitting system, capturing data such as your eye position, reading habits, and frame curvature. This allows Seiko’s design software to calculate the perfect optical geometry for your individual needs.

This attention to detail provides:

  • Sharper focusĀ across all viewing zones

  • Smooth, natural transitionsĀ for varifocal wearers

  • Improved comfort and faster adaptation

  • Thinner, more aesthetic lenses
