Terms of Service

1. Introduction

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the eyetest.co.uk website (the "Site") and the services provided through it. By accessing or using the Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not use the Site.

eyetest.co.uk is operated by Global Digital Solutions. References to "we", "us", or "our" in these Terms refer to Global Digital Solutions trading as eyetest.co.uk.

2. Service Description

eyetest.co.uk is a comparison and booking platform that enables users to:

• Search for and compare opticians across the United Kingdom
• View information about different types of eye tests, including costs, duration, and NHS coverage
• Access educational content about eye health conditions and guides
• Find opticians by location, brand, and service type
• Click through to optician websites to book appointments

The Site is a comparison and information service. We are not an opticians practice and do not provide eye tests, optical services, or medical advice. When you book an appointment through a link on our Site, you enter into a direct relationship with the relevant optician, and their own terms and conditions will apply.
