Our team of mobile opticians provide a comprehensive eyecare service to those who cannot get to one of our stores unaccompanied – check if you or someone you love is eligible here or give us a call on 0800 198 1132. You can benefit from a free NHS-funded eye test, a great selection of glasses and high standards of care – all from the comfort of your own home.
What happens in a home eye test?
At-home eye tests are very similar to the ones you would have experienced in-store, just with a few adjustments and specialist equipment to make them home-friendly. All of our visiting opticians are fully experienced in conducting eye tests at home, so you can be sure you, or someone you care for, will receive the same care and attention you’re used to. Safety remains a priority so we are following the College of Optometrists’ and NHS England's guidelines regarding PPE. Find out more here
The typical home eye test begins with your optician visiting your home on a pre-arranged day, and they will usually call an hour before to check it's still convenient. They'll then ask about your eyecare history and any problems you may be having, before carrying out an eye test with specialised equipment for use in the home. You can learn about the full procedure below, including the types of tests we’ll carry out.
NHS support towards the cost of your glasses
You may be entitled to NHS support towards the cost of your glasses if you:
Are eligible for an NHS complex lens voucher
Receive Income Support
Receive income-based jobseeker's allowance (not contribution-based)
Receive pension credit guarantee credit
Receive income-based employment and support allowance (not contribution)
Are entitled to, or named on, a valid NHS tax credit exemption certificate

Use your NHS optical voucher to get one free pair of glasses from the £15 to £49 ranges. If your voucher value is less than £45, we pay the difference. You can alternatively use it as part-payment towards any of our great offers too.
Our home visits customers can choose from all the great styles and offers that you would find in store including complete glasses from £15.
Do Specsavers still offer Healthcall services?
Our home visits service used to go by another name — Specsavers Healthcall. If you discovered us via another health service, website or by referral, they may have used our old Healthcall name to recommend us.
While our name may have changed, rest assured that our home eyecare service is just the same as before, right down to the high quality care our customers receive during home visits.
If you have any questions or queries about our home visits service, please call 0800 198 1132 to speak to our team.
