Opticians - RACC clearance is recommended.

Both registered opticians and non-opticians (i.e. those who can only sell spectacles and lenses) may advertise.

Where spectacle offers exclude a compulsory sight/eye test, this should be qualified in the copy, e.g. '(price) excludes sight test'.


Osteopathy - This may be advertised, subject to RACC clearance.

Evidence of practitioners' professional qualifications must be provided.

Some minor health claims related to the relief of pain may be allowed, subject to advice from the RACC's medical consultant.
