Led by our third-year students, under the supervision of an optometrist registered with the General Optical Council, the clinic provides comprehensive eye examinations and optical prescribing. We also offer a contact lens clinic, providing services such as initial fittings, trials, and aftercare appointments. Throughout January to May, a specialised eye clinic is available, offering investigation, guidance and treatment for various dry eye conditions.
You can expect the same level of care and confidentiality you would expect from your optometrist or contact lens optician.
If you have any NHS exemptions or are entitled to an NHS voucher for the cost of glasses, this cannot be issued as eye tests are offered on a private basis only.
There is no cost for University staff and students. For Teesside University graduates and members of the public, the cost for a sight test is £10. The cost of a contact lens trial is free, with aftercare appointments costing £10. Upon completion of a contact lens trial or aftercare, lenses are available to purchase through the clinic. The cost for our specialist clinics varies - for further information, please contact eyes@tees.ac.uk.
