Eye test Otley
Book an NHS or private eye test at 26 Market Place.
Why Guiseley patients come to Otley
Guiseley has opticians of its own, and for many people the nearest practice is the right one. Others prefer an independent optician in a town they already visit, for the Market Place, the shops or family nearby. Otley sits just the other side of the Chevin from Guiseley, so it’s a short, easy trip.
- Independent: one practice, with appointments planned by the practice rather than a head office
- No pressure: you get your prescription and can buy glasses anywhere
- Everything in one place: eye tests, children’s eye tests, glasses, contact lenses and hearing tests at 26 Market Place
