Our home eye test services
Use this hub to find the right route — NHS funding, private visits, costs, what to expect on the day, and specialist support for older adults, dementia, and care homes.

For our main service overview and how to book, start with our home eye test information on the homepage — then use the guides below for NHS funding, private visits, costs, eligibility, and specialist support.
Each link below goes to a dedicated guide. NHS-funded domiciliary sight tests, private home visits, optical vouchers, weekend and evening appointments, and booking for a relative each have their own page with the detail you need.
If you are comparing mobile opticians or searching for home visit opticians in the Midlands, use the home visit opticians guide. For clinical explainers and preparation tips, browse related articles on the blog — they support these service pages rather than replacing them.
