NHS or Private
Eye Test

We provide both NHS and Private eye tests or checks

The NHS test covers all the essential checks in accordance with current legislation while the Private check has the added extras of an OCT scan that produces a 3D scan of the internal layers of your eye. This gives us a more comprehensive picture of the health of your eyes and allows early diagnosis of any potential issues.

We offer an NHS upgrade to include this for £35 and can’t recommend it highly enough.

You qualify for an NHS funded sight test if:

  • You’re under 16
  • You’re 18 and under and in full time education
  • You’re over 60
  • You’re registered blind or partially sighted
  • You’ve been diagnosed with diabetes or glaucoma
  • You’ve been advised by an ophthalmologist that you are at risk of glaucoma
  • Your’e over 40 and mother, father, brother, sister, son or daughter have been diagnosed with glaucoma
  • You’re eligible for an NHS complex lens voucher.

  • Pension Credit Guarantee
  • Income based employment and Support Allowance ( not contribution based )
  • Have a valid NHS tax exemption certificate.
