What will it cost?

Quality eye care in your home might cost less than you think.

The good news is that most people over 60 in the UK qualify for an NHS-funded eye test. And if it’s difficult for you to leave home, you may qualify for an eye test at home at no extra cost.

We check this for you as part of our booking process.

If you don’t qualify, our standard home eye test fee is just £60.

Our lenses and frames

We have glasses for everybody - whatever your budget, face shape or style.

Our optician will bring a selection to your appointment so you can try them on and find what works for you.

We are able to manufacture all the lens you might require – from standard single-vision lenses, through to ultra-thin varifocals. We also offer tinted, photochromic, and ultra-violet-absorbing lenses.

Prices start at just £45 which includes standard single vision lenses with a durable hard coating.

There's also a selection of useful eye care accessories: glasses cases and chains, magnifiers, lamps, eye drops and cleaning solutions.

Don’t forget to check the NHS eligibility and entitlement for optical vouchers. You can use them as a contribution towards the cost of any of our glasses.

Aftercare

For peace of mind, our new glasses come with free aftercare for one year.

If you’d like an extra protection, we offer a CarePlus membership. This covers the cost of any repairs for accidental damage or breakages for 12 months. You’ll also get half-price replacement glasses if yours are lost or stolen.

CarePlus even covers you if your prescription changes after cataract surgery. We’ll update your glasses to your post-surgery prescription free of charge.

Ask our optician for the CarePlus application form when they come to test your eyes. Or get in touch with us today to find out more.
