Home Eye Examinations
Our GOC-registered optometrists conduct comprehensive eye examinations in clients' homes or care facilities. Using portable equipment, we assess vision quality, detect eye diseases like cataracts and glaucoma, and provide NHS or private prescriptions. The service includes home delivery of glasses and follow-up adjustments, ensuring accessible care for those unable to visit high street opticians.
NHS Glasses Supply
We supply custom-made glasses funded by NHS vouchers for eligible patients. Frames are engraved with patient details to prevent mix-ups in care homes. Our staff deliver and fit glasses approximately one week after examination, with free ongoing adjustments and repairs available. This service ensures cost-effective vision solutions for elderly and disabled individuals.
Dementia-Aware Optometry
All staff complete advanced dementia awareness training to better serve cognitive-impaired patients. Our optometrists adapt examination techniques to reduce patient anxiety, using clear communication and familiar environments. This specialist approach ensures accurate assessments while maintaining patient dignity and comfort during home visits.
Aftercare Adjustments
We provide free post-purchase adjustments and repairs for all supplied glasses. Our team addresses fit issues, lens damage, or frame adjustments through follow-up home visits. This ongoing support ensures long-term comfort and functionality, with emergency repair services available for urgent needs.
