Where they are
What an eye test costs in Wakefield
The register does not hold prices, so these are the published national rates for the chains listed here plus the usual independent range. With 30 sites in Wakefield outside the big four, expect a spread rather than a single local price.
Free on the NHS for under-16s, students aged 16 to 18, over-60s, people with diabetes or glaucoma, and people on qualifying benefits. Check whether you qualify before you book, and take an optical voucher worth £42.40 to £233.56 into account if you need glasses.

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.
