Terms of use
About these terms
This website, bainsoptical.co.uk, is owned and operated by Bains Optical Healthcare Limited (Companies House number 09471541), a private limited company registered in England and Wales. By accessing or using the site, you agree to these terms of use. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.
We may update these terms from time to time. The current version will always be on this page. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
About the information on this website
The content of this website, including pages explaining eye conditions and our services, is provided for general information only. It is not medical advice and should not be used as a substitute for examination by a qualified optician or other healthcare professional.
While we take care to make sure information on the site is accurate, we do not warrant that everything is complete, current, or error-free. Eye care is a clinical subject. The only reliable way to know what is happening with your eyes is a face-to-face examination.
If you have an eye-health concern, please book an appointment, call your GP, or in an emergency call 111 or attend A&E.
Booking appointments
Our online booking system at bainsoptical.eyeappointments.co.uk is provided by a third-party booking platform. When you book through this system you are also accepting the booking provider's terms and privacy policy, which are linked from within the booking system itself.
An online booking is a request, not a guaranteed appointment. We will confirm your appointment by email or text. If we cannot accommodate the time you have chosen, we will offer alternatives.
If you need to cancel, please give us as much notice as you can. We do not currently charge cancellation fees, but missed appointments without notice take a slot from another patient who might have needed it.
