Type 1 Free eye test.

[kendod666]

I get my annual retinopathy check at a health centre.

I am a type 1 diabetic.

Can I get free eye tests? Ie vision based ones?

If so how do I go about it? Thanks.

Read through this and you will see that you are entitled to a free eye test.

When you go for your sight test, tell your ophthalmic practitioner that you're entitled to a free NHS sight test. They will give you a form called GOS1 to fill in and sign.
