WELCOME TO SARAH FARRAR OPTICIANS

We are a friendly, family run opticians practice who take pride in our personalised services to ensure that your visit with us is as relaxed and enjoyable as possible. We provide optical services to the Wilsden, Harden, Cullingworth, Bingley, Keighley, Haworth and general Bradford areas (but, we won’t turn you away if you travel from further afield). If you require any advice, assistance or just want to find out more about our services please do not hesitate to contact us.

LARGE SELECTION OF FRAMES

Being independent means that we can bring you the best choice in frames and designer glasses. We are authorised dealers for the Ray-Ban and Calvin Klein brands. We also offer ECO frames, which are made in Italy with fully recycled or bio-based materials, which also come with polarised clip-ons. Alongside these, we offer designs from a range of manufacturers

WIDE RANGE OF OPTICAL EXPERIENCE

Sarah has a wide breadth and depth of knowledge, having previously worked in Airedale General Hospital for over 10 years. We can undertake several procedures during the sight test, such as:
Ophthalmoscopy (Direct and Indirect)
Retinosocopy
Subjective refraction
Retinal Photography
3D Ocular coherence tomography (OCT)
Binocular vision and stereopsis testing
Colour vision testing
Low vision testing and dispensing of low vision aids
Testing for work VDU forms
Dry eye testing

ENHANCED EYE EXAMINATIONS

We provide both NHS and private sight tests, and all contact lens-related appointments, performed by the optometrist and owner, Sarah Farrar MCOptom. We also offer 3D OCT (Ocular coherence tomography) scans, and have good connections with secondary care hospital eye services if required.

COMMON QUESTIONS

An eye examination is a key part of a comprehensive health check and we recommend that most patients should be seen every 2 years for us to keep on top of any changes in the health of the eye. It can show up all forms of ocular disease, oftentimes before you yourself notice the effects! They can also detect signs of some systemic diseases which affect your whole body, not just the eyes.

We charge £35 or £55 including OCT for a private sight test, although if you’re eligible for NHS funding the test will be free, you can check if you’re eligible here.
If glasses are something you’re a bit non-plussed by, Sarah is fully qualified and experienced in all forms of contact lenses, and is happy to fit them for you in practice. She can also advise you on all forms of corrective surgery.
Sarah has over 10 years experience in the children’s eye clinic at Airedale General Hospital, and is more than comfortable testing children of all ages, anyone 18 or under will also be eligible for NHS funding towards their glasses and sight test.

We offer any follow up appointments you may need, and are happy to answer any questions you have, anytime. As an independent optician we can take things at your pace, giving you as much time as you need to explain anything you’re unsure about, and put any worries at rest.

 

If you have any queries or problems, feel free to give us a ring, or pop in anytime.
