Who is eligible for an NHS-funded home eye test?
Free NHS home eye tests are available for those who can't visit an optician alone due to health or mobility concerns and meet the NHS criteria. Many of our customers qualify for NHS-funded eye tests for reasons such as:
- being 60 years old or older,
- being diabetic,
- having glaucoma or being at risk (for instance, due to a family history of the condition),
- being registered as partially sighted or blind.
Don't worry if you're not sure, our friendly team can check eligibility for you. Just click the button below, complete the form and we'll give you a call back to explain all the options.
If an individual is not covered by the NHS, private tests are available for just £60.

Specialised eye tests for dementia patients
Although our home eye tests are an excellent choice for anyone, they are particularly beneficial for those living with dementia or those with other complex needs.
Our opticians are trained to support a range of cognitive abilities, including dementia, which allows each individual to receive the best possible care in their own familiar surroundings.
We also purposely have longer and flexible appointments slots which allow us to do the test at a slower pace if needed.
And there is always the option to have a loved one or carer present during the test for added reassurance.
