Free NHS-funded home eye tests
Providing home eye care spanning from Glasgow, Dundee and Fife.
Cheryl has been providing eye care at home for over 15 years and joined OutsideClinic in 2011. After graduating from Glasgow Caledonian University in 2007 with a BSc (Hons) in Optometry and Visual Science, she began her career in one of Scotland’s busiest Specsavers practices. After several years in high street optometry, Cheryl discovered her passion for home visiting and has specialised in domiciliary care ever since.
She believes everyone should have access to high-quality eye care, especially those who may face challenges attending a high street practice. Visiting patients in their own homes allows Cheryl to spend more time understanding their individual needs and helping them maintain their independence.

What's the cost of a home eye test?
You can have your eyes tested at home, at no cost to you, if you are unable to get to the opticians unaccompanied - maybe due to a mobility issue or an underlying health condition.
Many of our customers qualify for NHS-funded eye tests for various 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.
However, there are many other reasons that could qualify you for NHS funding.

How does a home eye test work?
An eye test at home with OutsideClinic is comfortable and non-invasive.
Before your appointment, you’ll receive confirmation of the date and a phone call on the day with the expected arrival time.
The Optician will arrive with their portable equipment, confirm your details and ask about your medical history and symptoms. They’ll conduct the test using an eye chart, measure your eye pressure, check the health of your eyes and determine your prescription.
After explaining the results, they’ll help you choose new glasses if needed, which will be delivered to your home. The entire process takes about an hour.
