What we do

How we work

  • Plain English. We explain what we found and what it means, and you can ask as many questions as you need.
  • Your prescription is yours. You get it after every eye test and can use it anywhere (NHS).
  • NHS rules, applied properly. If you qualify for a free NHS eye test or optical voucher, we make sure you get it.
  • Registered professionals. Eye tests are carried out by optometrists registered with the General Optical Council, who keep a public register you can check.
  • Honest about urgent care. We’re not an urgent eye care provider, and we say so. Our urgent eye care page explains where to go.

How we write this website

Health information on this site summarises guidance from NHS.uk and, for urgent eye care in Leeds, from Primary Eyecare Services, which runs the Leeds CUES service. We link to the original source next to each claim and show the date we last checked it.

  • We don’t invent reviews, star ratings, awards or rankings.
  • We don’t claim to be the “best” or “number one” optician anywhere.
  • We don’t describe equipment or services we can’t back up.
  • We update pages when the official guidance changes, and change the “last updated” date only when content really changes.

Questions people ask

Is it better to go to Specsavers or an independent optician?

It depends on what you value. Chains offer many branches and national offers. An independent practice like ours offers continuity at one local practice and time to talk through your results. Both provide NHS eye tests by registered optometrists.

Can I switch opticians?

Yes, at any time and without permission. Bring your latest prescription and your current glasses or lens details, and book through our questionnaire.
