Eyes and sight are so precious, and we recognise how important our role is when trusted to look after them for you.

We are a independent family owned practice, and have provided optometry and optical services in Wetherby since 1988.  We offer high quality clinical care and products, ensuring we have the advanced skills and experience required to give advice that can be trusted.

Through a unique partnership with Leeds Teaching Hospitals, we provide a consultant led medical eye service (Wetherby Eye Clinic) and are the first ‘port of call’ for all vision and eye problems in our area.

Optometrists Paul Appleson and Ann Barrett each have over 30 years’ experience in hospital and community optometry, have higher qualifications in glaucoma and medical retina, and are Independent Prescribers for eye disease.

We use Ocular Coherence Tomography (OCT) for detailed eye imaging and retinal scanning, which allows us to manage a range of more complex conditions. We receive referrals from other practices and local GPs and can manage most patients ‘in house’ rather than having to refer to the hospital eye clinics.

In 2020, we were awarded the national Optician’s Award for Best Enhanced Optical Service. Our practice has been built on patient recommendation and we are proud of our excellent feedback.

Dispensing Optician Kennet Lahti has over 30 years’ experience in the profession. You will receive expert advice on the most suitable lens type for your prescription, and have your glasses fitted carefully to ensure you see well and are comfortable. We have a large range of frames in stock to suit all styles and budgets.

For current or potential contact lens users, we offer a large range of lens types including single use, multifocal, toric and rigid gas permeable, and an expert back up service to help you with any problems or complications.
