If you find it hard to get to an optician then our mobile opticians can come to your home.

Is this service available to everyone?

This service is for people of all ages, particularly those with mobility issues or mental health problems.

Mobility problems range from Wheelchair Use to Arthritis. Mental health issues range from Dementia to Autism. For more information see the list lower down this page.

Full eye exam in the comfort of your own home

With advances in equipment our mobile opticians are able to carry out a full expert eye exam in the comfort of your own home. We can visit you in your own home, flat or care home.

What are the costs of a home eye test?

If you are eligible for an NHS eye exam at the opticians then you will also qualify for a free eye test at home. If you pay privately then the cost is £60.

Choose from the latest glasses

Our mobile optician will bring our top 200 best selling pairs of glasses so if you need glasses you will have lots of choice. These range from FREE of charge NHS frames to our designer collections. You can choose from single vision, bifocal and even varifocal lenses. 

If you normally receive free glasses at the opticians because you claim benefits such as pension guarantee credit or universal credit then  you will still receive the same free glasses during a home visit.

If you normally pay for your glasses then our complete single vision glasses start from just £25 and you can upgrade to varifocal lenses from just £59 extra.

Receiving your glasses

When your new glasses are ready we'll pop them in the post in a package that will fit through your letter box. Should you need any adjustments just give us a call and we will come and fit them at a time convenient to you.

Request a home visit

You can request a home visit by calling us on 01274 660 099 and our friendly staff will arrange your appointment.
