Our Story

In 1830, John Lizars, at the age of 20, opened the first practice in Glasgow's Merchant City. Since then, Black & Lizars have been looking after generations of patients over 190 years.

Our highly qualified team of expert optometrists, dispensing opticians, contact lens experts, clinical assistants and audiologists are among the best in their field.
