Home Visiting Opticians

About

We provide free NHS eye tests at home for clients who have trouble getting to the high street on their own.

What we do

The client’s home is easily transformed into a consulting room, allowing our visiting optometrist to perform a full and comprehensive eye test at home.

We carry out thorough eye health checks on all clients, including spectacle prescription, screening for glaucoma, cataract, macula degeneration, as well as systematic disorders such as diabetes and blood pressure.

Who can access the service

You may qualify for a free NHS eye test at home if you are unable to visit an optician unaccompanied due to physical or mental disability and are any of the following:

  • Aged 60 or over.
  • Registered blind or partially sighted.
  • Diagnosed with diabetes or glaucoma.
  • Considered to be at risk of glaucoma, as advised by an optician.
  • Aged 40 or over and your mother, father, brother, sister, son or daughter has been diagnosed with glaucoma.
