Specialist Optometrist Information

All Optomotrists SHOULD be able to test and so on - however, one of our members has had positive experience with Liz Wood. 


Her Web Site address is: www.colour2c.co.uk . She was found to be very helpful, making use of overlays, coloured paper and so on as an initial step towards glasses etc. 


Once you know whether the glasses will work, she suggests that you get an eye test done, then see her for a colorimeter test and then go and get the glasses made up.


 In case you dont have internet access Liz's phone number is 01757 229109. Appointments cover Selby area and Darlington area. I would give her a call and discuss your questions and needs.
