Bayfields Opticians & Audiologists Clitheroe

Here's what makes a visit to our Castle Street practice a little different:

• An eye test at your pace: Appointments last around 45 minutes, giving your optometrist time to understand your lifestyle, answer your questions and explain your results clearly.

• A deeper look at eye health: Every Advanced Eye Test includes an OCT scan, a quick, painless image of the layers at the back of your eye, so changes can be spotted and monitored early.

• Designer frames, sourced for you: Browse brands including Tom Ford, Gucci and Ray-Ban alongside great-value options. If the style you have in mind isn't on display, just ask and we'll do our best to find it.

Book Your Eye Test

An eye test in Clitheroe with us is about more than reading letters on a chart. Alongside checking your prescription, your optometrist uses OCT imaging to look beneath the surface of your eye. This helps us pick up early signs of conditions such as glaucoma, macular degeneration and diabetes-related changes, often before they affect your sight. We'll talk you through what we see in plain, simple terms.

We offer NHS eye tests for adults and children who qualify, and children's eye tests are free on the NHS. Regular checks help us catch things like a lazy eye early, so it doesn't hold your child back at school.

Once your test is done, our team will help you find frames and lenses that suit your face, your prescription and the way you live, whether that's everyday glasses, prescription sunglasses for bright days on the fells, or a pair for screen work

If you develop a small eye injury, flashing lights or a floater, irritated eyes, blurry vision, cysts or styes, we participate in the local Minor Eye Conditions Service (MECS). As long as you’re registered with a local GP, you can come into the practice and we’ll do our best to see you right away, whether that is for an eye test or specialist eye care.

Finding it harder to follow conversation in a busy pub or café, or turning up the TV? Our audiologists run clinics every Wednesday and Friday, offering free hearing health checks and free hearing tests in Clitheroe.

If hearing aids could make a difference, we'll help you choose an option that fits your lifestyle and let you try it for free first. Our support carries on after your fitting with full aftercare, and Bayfields was rated No.1 for hearing aids by Which? in July 2026.
