Optician is a general term that covers both optometrists and dispensing opticians.
Optometrists carry out sight tests to check the quality of your vision and eye health. They look for signs of eye disease which may need treatment from a doctor or eye specialist. Optometrists prescribe glasses and contact lenses.

Dispensing opticians fit glasses, but do not test eyes. They can give you advice on types of lens, such as single-vision, bifocal or varifocals and help you to choose frames.

When you visit our practice you will have your eye examination conducted by an optometrist. They are trained to recognise abnormalities and diseases in the eye, such as cataract and glaucoma.

After the eye examination the optician will give you a statement (prescription) and, if you need them, may offer to fit you with spectacles or contact lenses.
