About Us

Our Team

“Ruth Perrott Community Optometrist” as we were originally know, first opened in Castleford in 1992, when Ruth purchased the business from Malcolm Ellis. In 2004, a second business was acquired and our Acomb Practice, just outside of York was born. 

We provide a wide range of examinations which are supplemented with the latest technologies to ensure we can offer a first class service to you on every visit. Whether you have woken with a bloodshot eye, are attending a routine eye examination or need some advice to help you manage a sight limiting condition, our experienced team are here to help.
