Both practices continue to be OPEN for normal business as Optometry is considered an essential service. Appointments are required before visiting the practices – whether for a routine eye test, eye health emergency or even just to collect glasses/contact lenses.

Restrictions are there for your safety and to ensure compliance with COVID-19 social distancing guidelines. Correct use of PPE, social distancing, coupled with cleaning and disinfecting the eye test room after every patient and cleaning the reception area throughout the day keeps us safe to visit.

Please remember mask wearing is required along with hand hygiene during any visit to the practices. Please do not bring food or drink into the practices.

Any queries please call either 028 9032 4366 for Howard Street or 028 9065 8898 for Ballyhackamore.
We’re committed to making sure we look after your eye health in a safe and hygienic environment.

Our Ballyhackamore practice has a lab to make spectacles and can make a set of glasses quickly in an emergency.
