UK-wide home eye tests by arrangement
In addition to our core service areas across the Midlands, First Care Optical can provide home eye tests in other parts of the UK by arrangement. This service is typically offered for care homes, organisations and referrals where local provision is required.
UK-wide home eye tests are arranged on a case-by-case basis depending on location, patient needs and clinical availability. This approach ensures patients receive appropriate, high-quality care without overpromising coverage.
UK-wide coverage is most commonly arranged for care homes with multiple locations, organisations supporting vulnerable individuals, or referrals where domiciliary eye care is required outside our core Midlands service areas. Both NHS-funded and private visits may be available depending on eligibility and local NHS commissioning.
If glasses are prescribed following a UK-wide home eye test, we can arrange supply and delivery directly to the patient or care setting where appropriate. To discuss requirements or referrals, contact our team to explore the available options.
We do not operate a national call centre — clinical leads in Coventry review each referral, agree travel plans, and assign Randy Bains or an approved locum with domiciliary experience. Documentation for commissioners can be supplied when required.
Typical UK-wide instructions come from safeguarding teams, hospital discharge planners, or multi-site care groups standardising eye care across regions. Lead times vary with distance; we give honest dates rather than marketing promises.
We can arrange weekend and evening home eye tests across the UK at no extra charge when weekdays are difficult for families or care staff.
