Bayfields Opticians & Audiologists Ossett

For more than 30 years, our Ossett practice has been caring for the town's eyesight from the short pedestrianised stretch of Wesley Street, right next to TSB and just a short walk from the Town Hall and Market Place.

Knowing our clients well is what lets us tailor everything we do. Whether you spend your days at a screen, behind the wheel on the M1 or out on the sports field, we take the time to understand how you use your eyes and ears, then recommend the glasses, contact lenses or hearing solutions that suit the way you live.

We welcome clients from all corners of Ossett, including Gawthorpe, South Ossett and Flushdyke, as well as neighbouring Horbury, Earlsheaton, Dewsbury and Wakefield. 

There are several small, inexpensive car parks close by, and if you're in town for the Tuesday or Friday market, it's easy to drop in for a quick glasses adjustment or to book your next appointment.

Choosing an optician is about more than convenience. Here's what you can expect when you visit us on Wesley Street:

• Your eye test lasts around 45 minutes, so we can talk through any changes you've noticed, as well as checking your prescription and eye health

• Personalised recommendations tailored to your vision requirements, lifestyle and budget.

• A clearer view of your eye health: Our Advanced Eye Test includes an OCT scan, which uses light to build a detailed, layered image of the back of your eye. It helps us spot early changes linked to conditions such as glaucoma and macular degeneration, often before you'd notice any difference.

• Eyes and ears under one roof: From eye tests and contact lenses to hearing checks and earwax removal, you can look after both in one familiar place in the middle of town.

Book Your Eye Test

Our Advanced Eye Test is built around you. Your optometrist will check how clearly you see at every distance you need, from your phone to the road ahead, and use OCT imaging to look at the health of your eyes in detail. Everything is explained in plain terms, so you'll leave knowing what your results mean and what, if anything, you need to do next.

We also offer NHS eye tests for adults and children who qualify. Children's eye tests are free on the NHS, and regular checks are one of the best ways to pick up issues such as a lazy eye or difficulty focusing before they hold back reading and learning at school.

After your test, our team will help you choose from our range of frames for all ages and budgets, with advice on the lenses that best suit your prescription and lifestyle.

If conversations have started to sound muffled, or you find yourself turning the TV up, a hearing check is a simple first step. We offer a free 15-minute hearing check as well as free hearing tests, carried out by our audiologists in a calm, unhurried setting.

If hearing aids could help, we'll talk you through the options that suit your lifestyle and budget, and you can try them for free before making any decision. Bayfields was rated No.1 for hearing aids by Which? in July 2026, and we'll continue to support you with aftercare long after your fitting.
