How long does a home eye test take?
A home eye test typically takes between 30 minutes to an hour. The duration may vary based on individual needs and any specific tests required. Our optometrist will conduct a thorough eye examination, discuss the findings with you, and answer any questions you may have.
What equipment is used during a home eye test?
Our optometrists use advanced, portable equipment to ensure a comprehensive eye examination. This includes:
- Tonometer: To measure intraocular pressure and screen for glaucoma.
- Ophthalmoscope: To examine the retina and optic nerve.
- Visual Acuity Chart: To assess your vision clarity at various distances.
- Autorefractor: To determine your prescription for glasses.

Can I use my existing frames for new lenses?
Yes, you can use your existing frames for new lenses if they are in good condition and compatible with the new prescription. Our optometrist will assess your current frames and advise you accordingly. If new frames are required, we offer a wide range of styles to choose from.
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.
