How to choose an optician in Westminster
- Have an eye test at least every two years, or more often if advised.
- Check whether you qualify for a free NHS eye test.
- Compare lens coatings and warranties, not just frame prices.
- Ask independent opticians about OCT scans for a detailed view of eye health.
Checks and regulation: Optometrists and dispensing opticians must be registered with the General Optical Council (GOC).
