What equipment is used during a home eye test?
Our optometrists use advanced, portable equipment to ensure a comprehensive eye examination. This includes:

How do I prepare for a home eye test?
Your optometrist will bring a selection of new frames, in a range of styles and prices, for you to try on. If you don’t find a style that you like or that suits your budget, don’t be afraid to ask if you can see some more.
If you have old frames that you’d like to use again ask the optometrist to inspect them to see if they’re still suitable. Always ask for a statement of the exact cost of the frames and lenses before agreeing to go ahead with the order.
You may be entitled to help with the cost of NHS glasses so remember to ask the optometrist about this.
When your spectacles are ready the optometrist will contact you again to arrange delivery. The person who delivers your glasses should make sure they fit you comfortably.
