Home eye tests across Staffordshire

First Care Optical provides professional home eye tests across Staffordshire 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 the county.

We visit patients across Staffordshire — including Stafford, Stoke-on-Trent, Lichfield, Tamworth, Cannock and Burton upon Trent. 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 Staffordshire. 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 Staffordshire, with NHS optical vouchers available where eligible. We also provide eye tests for residents of care and nursing homes throughout the county, organised with care staff to minimise disruption.

Home eye tests in Staffordshire — common questions

Who is eligible for an NHS home eye test?

You may qualify if you are unable to leave home unaccompanied because of a physical or mental illness or disability. We confirm eligibility on your behalf before any visit.

How much does a home eye test cost?

There is no charge for an NHS home eye test if the patient qualifies. Private home eye tests are quoted transparently before booking.

How long does the visit take?

Most home eye tests take 40–60 minutes. We allow extra time for patients living with dementia, low vision or complex communication needs.
