Opticians
This section provides information about opticians generally and links to help you find your nearest optician.
There are two kinds of optician:
- Optometrists - also called ophthalmic opticians - who carry out eye tests to check the quality of your sight, look for signs of eye disease which may need treatment from a doctor or eye surgeon and prescribe and fit glasses and contact lenses
- Dispensing opticians - who fit and sell glasses, but do not test eyes. They can give you advice on types of lens, such as single vision or bifocal, and help you to choose frames.
Local opticians
You can find out about your local opticians, including contact details and opening hours, on the NHS website's local services section.
