Home Eye Tests for Carehomes & Organisations

First Care Optical provides professional domiciliary eye care services for care homes, supported living providers and organisations supporting individuals who are unable to attend a high-street optician.

As a Coventry-based domiciliary optometry service, we work in partnership with care providers across the Midlands to deliver reliable, compliant and compassionate eye care for residents.

Eye Care Services for Carehomes

We regularly provide home eye tests for residents living in carehomes who may have mobility difficulties, health conditions or care needs that prevent them from travelling to an optician.

Our service is designed to minimise disruption, support care staff and ensure residents receive appropriate eye care in a familiar environment.

NHS and Private Home Eye Tests for Residents

Eligible residents may qualify for free NHS-funded home eye tests, while private home eye tests are also available where NHS criteria are not met.

We are happy to advise care home managers and families on eligibility and the most appropriate options for each resident.

Coordinated Visits and Ongoing Support

We work closely with care home staff to coordinate visits, manage multiple appointments and ensure a smooth process on the day of testing.

This includes:

Scheduling visits around care routines

Liaising with staff and families

Providing clear follow-up information after examinations

Glasses Supply for Carehome Residents

Where glasses are required following a home eye test, we can discuss frame and lens options during the visit.

Prescription glasses are supplied and delivered directly to the care home, ensuring residents receive appropriate visual support without unnecessary delays.

Supported Living and Organisational Services

In addition to care homes, we also support supported living providers and organisations caring for individuals who require eye care at home.

Our flexible approach allows us to adapt services to suit different settings and care requirements.
