Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes, so long as the eye test was done recently, then we can supply you with prescription glasses.   However, we generally advise that if your current prescription is over 6 months old, then it is best to have a new eye test done so that any possible changes in your vision can be allowed for.

  • After the eye test has be done, we try to deliver glasses 2-3 weeks after being ordered.

  • If you struggle to attend an opticians without help, then you may qualify for an eye test at home.  To find out the criteria call 07854401178.

  • Unless, you struggle with attending an opticians without help, you will not qualify for an NHS funded eye test.  However, we will be happy to arrange a private eye test at home for you.  The fee for a private eye test at home is £45.
