Andrew Lomas Opticians is an independent practice in Elland market town — not a chain — with appointment times that don't feel rushed.
A historic packhorse bridge village
Ripponden is a picture-postcard Pennine village, built around its old packhorse bridge over the River Ryburn and a history stretching back to the coaching days of the old Rochdale turnpike. It's a bit further up the valley from us, but well worth the short drive in for appointments.
Time to actually talk
Appointments aren't squeezed to a script. We take the time to explain what we find and what your options are, with no pressure to buy anything.
The same optometrist, year on year
Many of our patients see the same face at every visit, so changes to your eyes or prescription get spotted early.
What a visit includes
A full eye examination — not just a quick prescription check.
Eye health check
Screening for glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration and other conditions, not just vision correction.
Prescription & advice
A clear explanation of your results and honest guidance on glasses, contact lenses, or neither.
Frame fitting
Try frames in person, or at home first using our virtual fitting room tool if you'd rather browse before you visit.
