Who is eligible for a free eye test?

Across the UK many residents are eligible for an NHS-funded eye test and in some cases, may even get a voucher towards the cost of their glasses or contact lenses. If you qualify, you are entitled to an NHS- funded eye test every two years.

If you already know you're eligible for an NHS-funded eye test, or even if you're not eligible, you can still book an eye test with your local store. If you are not eligible for a free eye test, a Specsavers eye test costs £25.
