Home eye tests: A guide for patients with diabetes

For individuals with diabetes, attending regular diabetic screenings is critical for detecting and monitoring diabetes-related conditions. However, these screenings are not a substitute for comprehensive eye tests.

While it's essential to continue your regular diabetic screenings, our home eye tests ensure your prescription and glasses are up to date and suited to your needs; and that any other non-diabetic eye conditions are managed effectively - all from the comfort and convenience of your home.

Am I eligible for an NHS funded home eye test?

You can have your eyes tested at home, at no cost to you, if you're living with diabetes and are unable to get to the opticians unaccompanied.

If you're not sure if you can get an NHS-funded home eye test, our friendly team can check this for you.

Just see the full list, or call our team for more advice.

If you find that NHS funding isn't available for you, but you'd still value the convenience of a home eye test, then we offer private home eye tests for just £60.
