A Stodel Optometrists give the same warm welcome to NHS patients that we extend to our private patients. You may not realise you are eligible for NHS support and we'd like to help. Here are a few tips but, for the full details, you can go right to the source!
What NHS support is available?
You could qualify for a free sight test if you are under 16 or 16-18 and in full-time education, over 60, at risk of glaucoma, prescribed complex lenses, registered as blind or partially sighted, receive certain benefits, normally have tests at hospital as part of care for an existing eye condition or you are a war pensioner and need the test.
You could qualify for full help with health costs, including sight tests, if you or your partner receive certain benefits.
Remember, if you are entitled to a free NHS sight test, to tell us when you make the appointment, so that we can have the correct form ready for you when you come in for your examination. You may need to show some ID.
