Where this data comes from

Practice records are taken from the NHS Organisation Data Service reference data for Optical Headquarters and Sites, snapshot taken 4 September 2026. A listing records that an optical site was on the register on that date. It is not an NHS endorsement, a licence, a quality rating, or a guarantee that the practice is taking new patients. Opening hours, telephone numbers and prices are not held in this dataset, so confirm them with the practice before travelling.
