The Eye Clinic
Welcome to The Eye Clinic at the Bradford School of Optometry and Vision Science. We offer a complete primary eye care service to the general public as well as to students and staff of the University and their families. We work closely with other healthcare professionals in the region, and welcome the referral of patients into any of our clinics for further diagnostic tests. A referral form is available for this purpose.
The Clinic was opened in 1997 with the primary purpose of providing a high quality learning environment for final year Optometry students. The clinic is an easily accessible, single storey building and benefits from comfortable, spacious testing areas, high quality instrumentation, and friendly and helpful staff. Our experienced clinical staff include Optometrists, Dispensing Opticians and Orthoptists.
