Boots give me a free NHS test every year. I didn't ask - they just said it was free.In the UK diabetics are entitled to a free NHS eyesight test every 2 years. However, if your eyesight is changing the optician can recommend you have a free NHS test annually.
Fairly recently opticians were told by the NHS that they would only pay for bi-annual checks unless there was a special need. Maybe Boots haven't caught up yet.Boots give me a free NHS test every year. I didn't ask - they just said it was free.
When I was working, my optician prescribed “ intermediate distance” glasses which Id never heard of before but which worked very well with computer use in terms of managing the different vision requirements of screen and keyboard use.Thanks all. Found a free eye test voucher if I'm buying glasses, I just went to my specsavers and asked if I could still use it even though I don't have the money for my glasses until Monday.
They suggested rescheduling my appointment to then so I can get my free test..
In theory having different pairs of glasses is a good idea, but the reality is, just typing this I need two different ones, one for when I look down at the keyboard, another when I look back up at the screen.
As I suffer from numerous health and pain issues, it just makes my life more comfortable having all 3 lenses in one pair of glasses.
Here's my bi focals with transition lenses I got last year, I see no need to cart two pairs of specs around including sunglasses.We only get one free eye test every two years, people over sixty five get one every year.
I get a free test with Specsavers once a year.
By law you don't have to buy your glasses with your opticians. But by law they have to give you a copy of your prescription.
So you could have your test, take your prescription with you and get your glasses online cheaper. Some sites you can try before you buy frames.
My last glasses only cost me £6 a pair after using a site recommend by money saving expert.
Just had my eyes tested.
Optician was great (Specsavers)
Bill came to £306, I said I simply couldn't afford it, and he gave me a 50% off voucherSo my new tailor made Vari focals with reaction lenses, ultra clear etc only cost £153.
Very very happy
