History

Established in 1979.

Delaware Eye Optical’s affiliation with the Delaware Eye Institute began in 1989 when Vision Centre leased space from Dr. David Robinson on Savannah Road in Lewes. Both saw a need for a «state of the art» facility in a growing community that appreciated services each could offer. The two companies opened in April of 1990 and was an immediate success with Dr. Robinson and his staff taking care of all the eyecare needs and Vision Centre providing a selection of eyewear not seen in the area before as well as fitting contact lenses. In 2012, the Vision Centre store became a division of the Delaware Eye Institute.
