An NHS-funded home sight test is available when the patient is entitled to an NHS sight test and cannot leave home unaccompanied because of physical or mental illness or disability. Eligibility is set nationally — your postcode does not change whether you qualify. If you are unsure, call 07458 693608 and we will check before arranging a visit.

For each area below you will find local coverage detail, how booking works, and links to NHS eligibility and what to expect on the day. Evenings and weekends are available at no extra charge across our standard catchment.

Private home eye tests are available where NHS domiciliary funding does not apply — we confirm eligibility and any fee by phone before booking. Glasses can be supplied, delivered and fitted at home after the sight test when needed.
