Home eye tests across the Midlands

First Care Optical covers a broad Midlands service area, including Coventry, Birmingham, Solihull, Warwickshire, Wolverhampton, Northampton, Staffordshire and Worcestershire.

Home eye tests in Midlands

For locations outside our standard catchment, please call us — we accept selected wider-Midlands and UK-wide care home contracts and can advise on visit scheduling.

Pricing and clinical standards are the same across every location we cover.

NHS eligibility rules are the same nationally — we confirm before booking.

Our diary is organised from Coventry, with regular routes into Birmingham, the Black Country, Warwickshire, Northamptonshire and Staffordshire. That keeps travel predictable so appointment times stay reliable for families awaiting a visit.

If you manage patients across several towns, we can often sequence nearby visits on the same day — ask when you call so we can reduce waiting for multiple relatives in one family.

We can arrange weekend and evening home eye tests across Midlands at no extra charge when weekdays are difficult for families or care staff.

Home eye tests in Midlands — common questions

Which areas of the Midlands do you cover for home eye tests?

Our core service includes Coventry, Birmingham, Solihull, Warwickshire, Wolverhampton, Northampton, Staffordshire and Worcestershire. For addresses outside those areas, call us — we accept selected wider-Midlands and UK-wide care home contracts by arrangement.

Are NHS home eye test rules the same across the Midlands?

Yes. NHS eligibility for a domiciliary sight test is set nationally. An NHS-funded home visit 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. We confirm both parts before booking, wherever you live in our service area.

How much does a home eye test cost?

There is no charge for an NHS home eye test if the patient qualifies — that is, when the patient is entitled to an NHS sight test and cannot leave home unaccompanied because of physical or mental illness or disability. Private home eye tests are £75.

Is the private home eye test fee the same in every Midlands location?

Yes. Pricing and clinical standards are the same across every location we cover, including evening and weekend visits at no extra cost. We confirm any private fee by phone before booking.
