Find out about our comprehensive eye examinations (sight tests) and screenings for those working on computers.
Eye Clinic
Our Eye Clinic offers a complete primary eye care service to the general public, students and staff of the University, and their families.
Eye examinations are undertaken by final-year Optometry students under the direct supervision of qualified Optometry staff. We also offer a range of additional clinical services depending on your individual needs.
The clinic is easily accessible within the Phoenix southwest building, benefitting from comfortable, spacious testing areas. Our experienced clinical staff includes Optometrists, Dispensing Opticians and Orthoptists. We work closely with other healthcare professionals in the region, and welcome the referral of patients to any of our clinics for further diagnostic tests. You do not need to have seen your GP prior to attending.
Established in 1997 with the primary purpose of providing a high-quality learning environment for final-year Optometry students. The services we provide are identical to those offered by most Opticians in Bradford and throughout the UK, with the addition of some specialist clinics.
Your appointment includes a thorough two-hour examination. We check the health of your eyes and screen for diseases that may affect your eyes and vision.
If you are tested in a student teaching clinic, you will be rewarded with a 25% discount off adult spectacles, prices starting from £30.
We carry a range of stylish children’s frames, a large selection of which is provided free of charge when supplied with an NHS voucher.
We also stock a range of specialist frames, designed specifically for children with Downs Syndrome or other needs.
