The cost of an eye test depends on your eligibility and where you choose to have it. A private eye test costs £45, whereas an NHS eye test is free for qualifying individuals. You may qualify for an NHS-funded eye test if you meet certain criteria, such as being over 60, being diabetic, or receiving specific benefits. Always check with your optician to confirm eligibility or for further details contact us on twinseyecare@gmail.com. We do not charge for the initial call-out fee. There are no hidden fees and eveything will be explained before the booking is confirmed.
What should I do before the eye test?
You should aim to have completed the pre-visit questionaire for the optician who does your eyetest. This will simply allow the optometrist to understand your medical history, any symptoms you're experiencing and find solutions for you. We will send this to your email when you confirm your booking with us or you can visit out "The Legal Stuff" page and it will be under "Pre-Visit Questionnaire"
It may be useful to bring your spectacles or/and spectacle prescription with you to the eye test.
Otherwise, sit back and relax and we'll handle the rest!
