Where can I get a free eyetest in the UK?

Question

Which UK opticians are offering free eyetests and do any have special offers on more than one pair of specs?

Answer 1

I get free eye tests every year on the NHS @ any Optician.

If you are over Forty years of age, just tell them you had a parent who had Glaucoma & this entitles you to a free eye test.

My Father had Glaucoma & so did my Grand-Mother.

So I am entitled.

If you are on state Benefits you also qualify, or if you are in Full Time Education, or under 18 years of age.

Answer 2

just tell the optician that one of your parents has glaucoma,and they have to give you a free eye test.

Answer 3

what ever you do don't lie to get a free eye test by saying a relative has glaucoma... the NHS do thorough checks and there may be consequences if you have lied.

You get a free eye test on the NHS if:

* you are under 16

* you are under 19 and in full time education

* you are over 40 and are the brother/sister/child of somone who has glaucoma

*your diabetic or you have glaucoma

*your on benefits (such as tax credits, pension credit, income support)

* you have a complex lense ( if your prescription is over -10.00 or +10.00.

If not keep an eye out in the paper and magazines, somtimes specsavers offer free eye test vouchers when you buy a pair of specs.

Answer 4
