Home Visits

Some people are entitled to an NHS-funded mobile sight test (also known as a domiciliary sight test), where the ophthalmic practitioner comes to visit you:

  • in your own home
  • at a residential or care home
  • at a day centre

If you qualify for a free NHS sight test, you may be entitled to mobile services:

  • at home: if you’re unable to leave home unaccompanied because of physical or mental illness or disability
  • at a residential or care home: if you normally live there and you’re unable to leave the home unaccompanied because of physical or mental illness or disability
  • at a day centre: if you would have difficulty getting a sight test from an optometrist at their practice because of physical or mental illness or disability, or because you have difficulty communicating your health needs without help

 

“As soon as you step through the door you are greeted by your great staff. All efforts are made to make you feel as you are the only person who matters. Full explanation of what is going on – glasses/lenses/options. Time to ask questions. Contacted when your follow-ups are due or lenses/glasses are ready. Thank you wonderful Eyeworks” Roberta Swann
