OUR MOBILE OPTICIAN SERVICES
What we offer
Eyecare Mobile Opticians Ltd. provides an NHS-funded service for all those who find it difficult to attend a high street optician. If you or someone you know has difficulty getting to an optician unaided or is housebound, then you may be entitled to a free eye test at home. See below to see if you qualify for a free eye test. One of our home visiting opticians will come to your home and perform a home eye test, after which they can recommend spectacles if needed.
A wide selection of frames are available and we provide all lens options, from single vision to bifocals, varifocals, transitions, and thinner and lighter lenses, together with a range of coatings to suit all needs. NHS-funded glasses are also available for those eligible.
We provide the same quality of eye care as you would expect from a high street optician, making a visit to individual homes, nursing homes, day centres, and sheltered accommodation. All eye examinations and the fitting of spectacles are carried out by friendly, experienced, and fully qualified registered optometrists & dispensing opticians.
