Free NHS home eye tests
The NHS recommends that everyone should have their eyes tested every two years.
Recognising that not everyone can easily travel to an optician without help, the NHS provides funding for home eye tests.
At OutsideClinic, we are proud to deliver this vital service on behalf of the NHS to over 150,000 people each year.
By providing tests at home, we ensure that everyone who needs an eye test can receive one in the comfort and safety of their 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 qualify for an NHS-funded eye test and 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.
If you're not sure if you can get an NHS-funded home eye test, then our friendly team can check this for you.
