Opticians & Optometrists: frequently asked questions
What's the difference between an optician, an optometrist and an ophthalmologist?
An optometrist tests your eyes and checks eye health; a dispensing optician fits glasses and contact lenses; an ophthalmologist is a medical doctor who specialises in eye disease and surgery.
How do I check an optometrist is registered?
Optometrists and dispensing opticians must be registered with the General Optical Council (GOC).
How often should I have an eye test?
Usually every two years for adults, or more often if your optometrist recommends it, for example if you have diabetes or a family history of glaucoma.
Who can get a free NHS eye test?
Groups including children under 16, people aged 60 and over, and people with diabetes or glaucoma. In Scotland, eye examinations are free for everyone.
