Optometry Practices

Optometrist looking at patient

An optometrist, also known as your local optician, will support you to look after your eye health and help address any concerns you may with your eyes

Your local optometrist is able to diagnose, and in some cases treat and manage your eye needs, including managing long-term conditions.

To find your nearest optometrist, use the search function. Alternatively, the NHS 111 Wales website has information available on what services are available in each optometry practice.

In Wales, a wide range of NHS eye care services can be provided in a local optometry practice under the Wales General Ophthalmic Service (WGOS).

For some patients, services will be free of charge. More information on these services can be found below.
