The York Opticians

We're delighted to be supporting the Haxby Runners 10K race this weekend. We'll be out volunteering on the course, and we have supplied two pairs of these Oakley Flak 2.0 XL with Prizm Road Jade lenses as spot prizes for two lucky runners. A few race places are still available so head to the link in comments if you want to be in with a chance of winning them.

We hope you all had a delightful bank holiday weekend. We have a couple of eye test appointments available on Thursday and one has become available on Saturday due to a cancellation, don't hang around.

Please enjoy this excerpt from a recent review:

"At the appointment I met Nikki, who asked loads of questions about what I was hoping to achieve, & she recommended about half a dozen frames to try. I settled on a pair of Oakley wrap around frames which Nikki helped to tailor make the arms to fit comfortably inside my crash helmet. The price was reasonable, & they only took a week to arrive. If you are a biker & encountering the same problem, I highly recommend giving York Opticians a call"
