Dispensing Clinic
Does your child require glasses and struggle to find suitable frames?
There is a Dispensing clinic at Caledonian University for children who have complex needs and Visual Impairment.
They have a very good range of frames including some which are specifically designed for children with Downs Syndrome.
It is non-profit making service so much cheaper than a lot of the stores.
Appointments can be arranged by calling 0141 331 3377 or you can use the drop in service.
Students are always on site but everything is supervised and checked by a qualified optician.
