BSO / NHS Benefits
Are you entitled to free eye care?

You may qualify for a free NHS sight test if you:
- Are under 16, or under 19 and in full-time education
- Are 60 or over
- Are registered blind or partially sighted
- Have diabetes or glaucoma
- Are 40 or over with a close relative with glaucoma
- Receive certain benefits (Income Support, JSA, Pension Credit and others)
NHS optical vouchers
If you qualify for a voucher, we'll apply it directly to the cost of your glasses or contact lenses. We have a range of frames available at no extra cost on a voucher.
