Simpson Opticians are able to provide free NHS eye tests or examinations from our practices in Larkhall & East Kilbride, Lanarkshire. We are also pleased to offer home visit eye tests to our customers.
Since April 2006, everyone in Scotland is entitled to a Free NHS Eye Test or Eye Examination.
The recommended time between eye tests is once a year for:
Under 16’s | |
Over 60’s | |
Diabetics | |
People with Glaucoma or considered at risk of Glaucoma |
Otherwise, it is every two years, unless you have a problem requiring a consultation with the Optometrist, such as:
Headaches | |
Blur | |
Sore Eyes | |
Red Eyes | |
Any concern about your Vision |
You should not only come for an eye test or examination when you want new spectacles, but make it part of your regular preventative medical check ups.
