Question

Answer 1

ask your optician because they have all the details !! i can have free eye tests one a year for example because im diabetic, im not sure if tax credits and non medical exemption certificates qualify.

Answer 2

Yes, I believe so.

Answer 3

yes you can! You might also recieve a voucher which allows you to get money off your glasses (if you need some!)

Answer 4

the prescription exemption cert does not entitle you but the tax credits will if you have the little credit card sized exemption cert. If you need glasses it will also help with the cost of it. You will be entitled every 2years.

Answer 5

Eye tests are free in Scotland.

Answer 6

yes you are entitled.

Answer 7

You are entitled to a free NHS eye test every 2 years if you have a tax exemption certificate.  If your eyes change within that 2 years you will get another voucher from NHS if you need a new prescription.
