About First Care Optical
Who We Are
First Care Optical is a domiciliary optometry service providing professional eye care to patients who are unable to attend a high-street optician. Our focus is on delivering high-quality, patient-centred eye examinations in the comfort of people’s homes and care settings. Learn more about our services on Home Eye Tests.
Our Mission
Our mission is to make eye care accessible to those who need it most. We support elderly patients, individuals with mobility or health conditions, and residents of care and nursing homes by bringing professional optometry services directly to them.
Clinical Standards & Professional Care
All eye tests are carried out by qualified optometrists using specialist portable equipment. Examinations follow the same clinical standards as a high-street eye test and are adapted to suit individual needs. Find out what happens during an appointment on What to Expect
NHS & Private Services
We provide both NHS-funded and private home eye tests depending on eligibility and patient preference. Eligibility for NHS-funded visits is based on individual circumstances rather than age alone. For more information, see NHS Home Eye Tests, Private Home Eye Tests, and Eligibility.
Care Home & Organisational Support
We work closely with care homes, supported living providers, and organisations to deliver reliable and well-coordinated eye care services. Learn more about our care-home services on Care Home Partnership Services.
Areas We Serve
Our core service areas are based in the Midlands, with additional UK-wide services available by arrangement. You can explore our coverage on Service Areas, including Midlands Coverage and UK-wide Services.
Commitment to Patients & Carers
We take a calm, respectful, and transparent approach to care. Patients, carers, and family members are kept informed at every stage, ensuring confidence and peace of mind throughout the process.
