Eyecare We recommend that everyone should have their eyes examined on a regular basis, even if you feel your eyes are fine and your vision is perfect. Some ocular conditions have very few symptoms and the vision can change so gradually you do not notice that things are not as sharp as they used to be. Eye examinations can also be a very useful check on the health of the whole system, and not just the eyes. Eye examinations can be carried out through the health service (NHS) at no charge (see below if you are eligible) or privately for a fee of £20. Free eye examinations also feature as one of the many benefits of our Eye Plan Scheme NHS Criteria for free examinations
We recommend children have an eye examination prior to starting school, and at regular intervals thereafter, possibly every six to twelve months, as prescriptions can change quite quickly when children are growing. It is not necessary for them to be able to read for an eye examination to be completed. We accept eye care vouchers for VDU examinations and eye examination fees can also be claimed from the HSA and other Friendly Associations. We also offer the Eyeplan Reward scheme to give you peace of mind regarding the costs of eye care and eye wear. The partners would also recommend that adults and children also have a further assessment of their eyes by upgrading to include a retinal scan. See our optomap page for more information.
