NHS Home Eye Tests
Professional eye care in the comfort of your own home — comprehensive examinations, spectacle dispensing and ongoing aftercare, all delivered to your door.
Professional Eye Care, Delivered Where You Are
At Almond Eyecare, we believe everyone deserves access to exceptional eye care, regardless of their mobility. Our NHS home eye test service brings a fully equipped optician directly to your home, providing the same comprehensive eye examination you would expect from a high street practice.
We care for elderly patients, individuals living with disabilities, people recovering from illness, and those whose physical or mental health makes travelling difficult. Every appointment is unhurried, allowing plenty of time to understand your visual needs, answer questions, and carry out a thorough assessment.
During your visit we assess your vision, examine the health of your eyes, review your current glasses, screen for common eye conditions such as glaucoma, cataracts and macular degeneration, and discuss any concerns you may have. If new spectacles are required, we bring a carefully selected range of frames directly to your home.
Why Patients Choose Almond Eyecare
Whether you live independently or require support from family or carers, we provide professional, compassionate eye care where you feel most comfortable.
