About the Optometrist Eye Clinic

Established in 1997, the Eye Clinic at the University of Bradford offers high-quality primary eye care in a clinical teaching environment. The clinic serves the general public, university staff, students, and their families. Located within the accessible DHEZ building, the facility features spacious, comfortable testing rooms and modern equipment.

Final-year Optometry students carry out comprehensive eye examinations under the close supervision of fully qualified staff. This not only ensures excellent patient care but also helps shape the next generation of optometrists. In fact, this model enables the clinic to provide outstanding value without compromising quality.
