Bayfields Opticians and Audiologists Wakefield

Founded in 1955, we've spent time making sure our community has access to expert eye care and high-quality and friendly service. For over 60 years, we’ve been helping people in Wakefield to see better and get more out of life. 

Our eye tests are extremely thorough, and can include retinal imaging. When it comes to choosing contact lenses, we’re a specialist centre and can also offer FREE contact lens trials. If you’re looking for glasses, we’ll help you to find just the right frames, which may be from our designer brand ranges – including Wolf, Oakley, Christian Lacroix, Ray-Ban, Ted Baker, Tiffany & Co and Hackett.     

Everybody's welcome, and if you don’t have an appointment then just pop in and we’ll do our best to see you if we can. Wherever possible, we’ll also do fittings, adjustments and repairs without an appointment. We’ll even make you a coffee while you wait!

Low vision aid service
We run a low vision aid service for those whose sight has deteriorated significantly. We can assess your eye care needs and advise you as to things which may help, such as eye shields, magnifiers and different lighting.


Part of the Wakefield community

We support Pinderfields Hospital’s children’s ward with Easter eggs and the Christmas presents we collect each year. We also hold coffee mornings for Macmillan Cancer Support.   


Audiology service

We can also take care of your hearing, with hearing tests and access to high-quality hearing aids and helpful hearing care treatments which could improve your hearing.

Exceptional service from the moment I walked through the doo...r! Welcoming and patient. Thorough eye test and support to find the right glasses and fitting. My glasses are really comfortable and I can already feel the benefit for my eyes. Very pleased and I would definitely recommend to my family and friends.

I have always had exceptional service from my time with Bayf...ields Wakefield. The staff are very patient ensuring that the product they provide fits your requirements. In particular Mark who fitted me for my 1st ever contact lenses several years ago, this process took a number of months and different lenses before I found the correct fit. I would also mention Jane who is always a friendly face and very professional in all interactions I have had with her.

At 51, this was my first ever eye test and found the whole e...xperience to be a totally positive and quite enjoyable one. The staff were professional, courteous, patient and very friendly. Everything was clearly explained to me in a jargon free and non-condescending way and my eye care was paramount rather than an exercise in trying to sell me the most expensive thing they could. Something I have encountered with other opticians when taking my son. I can highly recommend Bayfields. They were excellent
