We’re proud to offer free NHS eye tests and support for those eligible. Regular eye tests are essential for maintaining good vision and eye health. Find out if you qualify and explore the benefits of NHS-funded eye care.
The NHS will cover the full cost of an eye test with us for anyone who qualifies, and if eligible, we can provide an NHS optical voucher towards the cost of your glasses or contact lenses. Children in the UK are eligible for free NHS eye care if they are under the age of 16, but many adults still aren’t aware that they can also receive free NHS eye care.
We pride ourselves on providing quality eye tests for all of our customers. We endeavour to make the experience as comfortable, friendly, informative, and simple as possible. Alongside private eye tests, we also provide free NHS funded eye tests.
If any of the below applies to you, you may be able to receive a free NHS eye test at Scrivens Opticians:

If you qualify for NHS eyecare, all you need to do is search for your local Scrivens branch and book your eye test online, and of course, don’t forget to bring any necessary documents with you to your appointment.
