Home eye tests in Solihull
First Care Optical provides professional home eye tests in Solihull for patients who are unable to attend a high-street optician. Our domiciliary optometry service supports elderly patients, housebound individuals, and those with mobility or health conditions across Solihull and the surrounding areas.
We visit patients across Solihull and the surrounding B postcodes — including Shirley, Olton, Knowle and Dorridge. Home eye tests suit anyone unable to leave home unaccompanied due to mobility difficulties, long-term illness, dementia, a learning disability or severe anxiety, and care home residents are commonly eligible too.
We offer both NHS-funded and private home eye tests in Solihull. Eligibility for an NHS-funded visit depends on individual circumstances rather than age alone. Our optometrists carry out a comprehensive examination using portable equipment, in a calm and professional way adapted to each patient’s needs.
If glasses are prescribed we can arrange supply and home delivery across Solihull, with NHS optical vouchers available where eligible. We also provide eye tests for residents of care and nursing homes throughout Solihull, organised with care staff to minimise disruption and keep residents comfortable.
