N.H.S Eye care

Free eye examination on the NHS

Regular eye exams are very important, which is why they are available to about 75% of our customers, free on the N.H.S This is because the eyes are not always good at telling their owners when something is wrong. In fact, sometimes it is only an eye examination which can reveal some serious problems. We have the most up to date skills and equipment to ensure your eyes are healthy and your vision is the best it can possibly be.
