Free Home Visits for NHS Eye Test
Home Eye Tests
Did you know if you or someone you know are unable to leave home unaccompanied due to a physical or mental illness or disability then Specsavers will arrange to come and visit you in your own home for your free NHS Eye Test.
They have a team of mobile opticians who provide a comprehensive eyecare service to those who cannot get to one of our stores unaccompanied – check if you or someone you love is eligible. You can benefit from a free NHS-funded eye test, a great selection of glasses and high standards of care – all from the comfort of your own home.
What happens in a home eye test?
At-home eye tests are very similar to the ones you would have experienced in-store, just with a few adjustments and specialist equipment to make them home-friendly. All visiting opticians are fully experienced in conducting eye tests at home, so you can be sure you, or someone you care for, will receive the same care and attention you would get instore.
The typical home eye test begins with your optician visiting your home on a pre-arranged day, and they will usually call an hour before to check it's still convenient. They'll then ask about your eyecare history and any problems you may be having, before carrying out an eye test with specialised equipment for use in the home.
