Witness the company expand its spectacle frame-making business by setting up its first Eye Clinic in the 1920’s and discover how this aided the conception of the National Eye Service and influenced NHS ophthalmic services we know today.
Celebrate the launch of the revolutionary new Synoptophore and learn about its use in the orthoptic testing of RAF servicemen and how this impacted the Battle of Britain, and learn why Clement Clarke Limited diversified into artificial eye production, facial prosthetic reconstruction and the manufacture of sight safety flying goggles during the war years.

As we move through 100 years of history, our journey celebrates the design and development of many other products still used in modern practice, for example, the Perkins hand-held tonometer, BA 904 portable slit lamp and Tonosafe disposable prisms. Finally, discover the cutting-edge technology the company employs today.
Sharon Mills, HS-UK Marketing Manager, said, “Reaching this exciting milestone is such a wonderful achievement.
