Optometrist

Yolanda Guijarro-Cazorla BSc(Hons) MCOptom

After I qualified as an optometrist in Spain in 1996 and worked in several independent practices, I decided to move to UK in 2001 in order to study a master’s degree in Optometry. It was during this period when I developed a keen interest in contact lenses, specialising in contact lense fitting and dry eye. I qualified to practice in UK in 2002 and since then I have been working as an optometrist at independent practices.
On a personal note, I am myopic and have suffered the effects since I was a young girl. Given recent developments and improvements in technology, it is now possible to slow down the progression of myopia and, given my personal experience, I am particularly keen to take advantage of those technologies to help children not only by correcting their eyesight but also by slowing down the progress of myopia.

One last thing, I’m also interested in fashion and the latest trends in eyewear and you may see me with a different pair of frames every day! All of them are available at Taylor & West, where you can find the trendiest spectacles in London.
