About Doyles Opticians

Doyles Opticians is an independent practice at 297 Southwick Road, in the shopping parade that serves Southwick and the streets towards Carley Hill and Castletown on the north side of the Wear. It is listed on the NHS directory of sight test providers, so eligible patients can book an NHS-funded eye examination there.

As a local independent rather than part of a national chain, it is the kind of practice where customers tend to return to the same optometrist over the years. Eye examinations sit alongside the supply and fitting of glasses. The practice does not have a website, so the easiest way to check appointment availability, opening times and frame choice is to phone. It suits residents north of the river who would rather not head into the city centre for an eye test.
