Please leave a clear message stating your child’s GOSH number, name, phone number and a brief message.

Please note unfortunately we can only help with glasses queries, other queries will not be dealt with.

Under NHS guidelines we can only repair the broken or scratched parts of the most recent NHS spectacles - we do not provide a whole new pair.

Please do not use glue on any parts of the spectacles. If glue is used you may be charged for the repair.

If the glasses get broken, please send them back to us including your child’s full name and GOSH number and return address.

Please send repairs recorded delivery to:
