Independent opticians, Gosforth

Unhurried eye care on
Gosforth High Street.

Northsight is an independent practice, not a chain. Every eye test runs a full 40 minutes, and every test includes an OCT retinal scan at no extra cost.

40 minute eye tests

Time to check your eyes properly, not a ten minute conveyor belt.

Free OCT scan

A retinal scan with every test. The chains often charge 10 to 25 pounds.

Independent and local

One small team who get to know you and your eyes over time.

What independent means

A proper look, and honest advice

Priya Nair owns the practice and tests eyes here every week. That means no rushed slots and no pressure to buy, just a careful look and advice you can trust.

You see the same faces each visit. Over time we get to know your eyes, which is how we catch changes early.
