About Robson Opticians
Robson Opticians on Pilgrim Street is the longest-established optical practice in Newcastle, trading since 1867. This independent centres its care on a Complete Eye Examination that uses OCT scanning, Optomap wide-field retinal imaging and anterior eye photography to build a full picture of eye health, going well beyond a standard high-street test. It also fits contact lenses and offers myopia management for children.
Alongside eyecare the practice provides audiology, so hearing tests and hearing aids are available under the same roof. It suits anyone who wants a thorough, technology-led examination and personal service in a heritage independent, and its Pilgrim Street address places it a short walk from Grey Street and the heart of the city.
