In 1946, a young Canadian Optometrist named Charles Broadbent, opened an optical store at 11/4 Duke Street, Kingston and began practicing his skills. There began a long and illustrious tradition of Broadbent’s eye care in Jamaica. Over the years, the business grew and although Charles Broadbent eventually sold it, the name “Broadbent” remained and became synonymous with reliable, thorough, and professional vision care, in short, the best in the business.

They may help with reading, but your eyes might need different strengths or a more tailored prescription. Reading glasses can be prescription too!
