Carol McKee M.C.Optom.
As an optometrist, Carol completed her training more years ago than she would care (or anybody else) to recall. There have been many changes since then, not the least of which being the advancement of technology and the large range of contact lenses presently accessible.
She worked as a locum in a variety of practices in Hertfordshire and North London for several years before deciding to pursue a full-time independent practice twelve years ago. Even when she is not in the consulting room, she can be found staring at a pair of eyes.
At the end of a needle again, this time assisting with costumes for a local amateur theatre company!
SHANE BROWN
Shane began working with Eileen Gay Opticians in the early 1990s and quickly advanced through the ranks, eventually becoming the practice manager. Shane has been working in the optical industry for the past twenty-four years.
Shane worked in a variety of occupations following college, including tailoring and travel, but he quickly discovered that he was at home in the field of optics.
Rimless and custom frames are their specialities, and they have a diverse range of talents ranging from spectacle production to lens dispensing.
Edward Jewson F.B.D.O.
Edward received his certification as a Dispensing Optician in 2007. Over the years, he has become an expert in the fitting of intricate spectacle lenses as well as the professional adaptation of spectacle frames, ranging from handmade adult frames to specialised children's frames imported from all over the world.
Outside of the practice setting, he can be seen mountain biking through the forest or whitewater rafting at the Lea Valley White Water Centre, where he enjoys the adrenaline rush of outdoor activities.
Erika Canizales
Erika is an Optometrist at Sun Street opticians, after an already successful career we are very lucky to have her. Erika is currently on maternity leave but is looking forward to getting back to helping our customers - once she has enjoyed many baby cuddles.
KATYIA GATZIOU
She began working in optics as a Saturday girl in 2011, and after determining that this was the career for her, she moved on to work full time in the field. With her BTEC Level 3 and 4 in Optical Dispensing under her belt, Katya is currently pursuing a certificate in fundamental communication abilities in British Sign Language (BSL)
Katya enjoys spending time with her three (yes, three!) Labrador retrievers and cooking up a storm in the kitchen. She unwinds by crocheting and stitching.

This is what ”Sun Street Opticians” Customers have to say!
When entering the premises you are greeted with a friendly, relaxed, professional team. The eye examination was far more high tech than I have experienced in other Opticians. Although there is a very wide range of frames to choose from, they new exactly what was needed for the shape of my face and showed me 3 options – all priced differently. I have been wearing glasses for 30 years and without exageration the ones I opted for are by far the most comfortable I have ever worn. At times it doesn’t even feel like I am wearing any. How and why have Sun Street Opticians got it so right when others got it so wrong.

My family has been going to Shane for years as the service is always exceptional. Now has an extensive range of frames to choose from for all budgets. Went in today for an eye test and new frames and couldn’t resist buying the YSL sunglasses too. Very satisfied customer. Thanks guys!

My wife, family & I have been looked after by the team since they came together at their original premises in Sun Street after Eileen Gay left the business appx 30 years ago. In all those years we have been cared for at the highest levels of courtesy & professionalism. We would never consider using any other local or “tv advert” company when we have such a great team dedicated to our personal health at Sun Street Opticians!
