Our qualified optometrists conduct comprehensive eye examinations in patients' homes using advanced portable equipment. The service includes ocular health assessments, vision testing, and prescription determination. We cater specifically to individuals with mobility challenges, ensuring NHS eligibility criteria are met while maintaining clinical standards equivalent to high street practices.
NHS Eye Tests
We provide free NHS-funded eye examinations for eligible patients unable to visit traditional opticians. This includes assessments for glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy. Eligibility extends to those with disabilities, chronic health conditions, or age-related access challenges as defined by NHS domiciliary care regulations.
Spectacle Dispensing
A full range of corrective spectacles is available following eye examinations, from budget to designer frames. Our service includes precise fitting, adjustment, and delivery with 12-month warranties. We offer specialised lenses including multifocals and UV-protective options tailored to individual visual needs.
Aftercare Services
We provide comprehensive aftercare including spectacle adjustments, repairs, and vision monitoring. Our service ensures continuity of care with documented follow-ups and communication with GPs when required. Patients receive detailed explanations of test results and ongoing eye health management advice.
Nursing Home Eye Care
Specialised eye examinations and spectacle services for nursing home residents form a core part of our operations. Our team addresses visual impairments associated with dementia and other age-related conditions, providing staff training on lighting and magnification while maintaining NHS compliance standards.
