The Eye Centre eye clinic is located at Pinderfields Hospital, Aberford Road, Wakefield, WF1 4DG.
The Eye Centre is one of the busiest ophthalmology departments in the region. The introduction of rapid access clinics, seeing 40 acute patients per day, means we are getting our patients to the most appropriate staff and providing treatment quickly.
