Both practices are listed on the NHS directory of sight test providers, so eligible patients can book an NHS-funded eye examination. Alongside eye tests they supply and fit glasses. The business does not have a website, so phone the branch nearest to you to check opening times and book an appointment. Having two branches on opposite sides of the river makes it a convenient independent choice for people in both the north and south of the city.
