Roberttown’s eye care options

Roberttown is a small village on the A62 Leeds Road between Heckmondwike and Liversedge. There is no optician in the village, and the nearest chain options are in Batley or Dewsbury. Most Roberttown residents end up travelling further than they need to for a routine eye test.

Armitage Opticians is about 5 minutes south on the A62 Leeds Road. Head south past Roberttown Lane and continue into Heckmondwike town centre. We spend a full 45 minutes on every eye test, use OCT retinal imaging as standard, and offer specialist clinics that chain practices do not provide: EyeClean for dry eye, MyoShield for childhood myopia, and SleepSight OrthoK for overnight vision correction. Our designer frame range — Tom Ford, Gucci, Prada, Silhouette, Etnia Barcelona — gives you far more choice than any chain in the area. Patients from Roberttown Lane, Oxford Road, and the Leeds Road corridor are regular visitors.

Questions from Roberttown patients

Where is the nearest optician to Roberttown?

The nearest independent optician is Armitage Opticians at 14 Market Street, Heckmondwike — about 5 minutes south on the A62. There is no optician in Roberttown village itself.

How much is an eye test at Armitage Opticians?

Private 45-minute eye test: £49, or free when you buy glasses. NHS tests: free for eligible patients (children, over-60s, diabetes, qualifying benefits). OCT retinal imaging is included at no extra cost.

What is OrthoK and do you offer it?

OrthoK (orthokeratology) means wearing specially designed lenses overnight that gently reshape your cornea while you sleep. You remove them in the morning and see clearly all day without glasses or daytime contacts. Our SleepSight programme fits both adults and children. The practice is 5 minutes from Roberttown.

Can you help with dry eyes?

Yes — our EyeClean programme diagnoses the root cause of your dry eye using a Firefly Digital Slit Lamp, then treats blocked glands with iClean (BlephEx) and builds a home care routine. Far more thorough than just being given artificial tears.

Do you do home visits for eye tests?

Yes. If you are housebound or have significant mobility issues, we can visit you at home in Roberttown. These visits are NHS-funded for eligible patients. Call 01924 403617 to book.
