At Freedom Eyecare Nottingham we can provide free NHS eye tests for any care home resident, residential or nursing.
Anyone over 60 is entitled to a free eye test at their place of residence if they are unable to get out to an optician on their own.
See our NHS page to see who else is entitled.
Glasses engraving
We engrave the inside arm of residents glasses with their name in case they get moved around the home or get picked up by another resident.
This is something we offer regardless of whether we provided the glasses or not. We have a portable engraver so we can schedule a day to come and do this at your convenience without having to send glasses away.
Magnifying glasses
We offer free low vision assessments for patients who struggle to see with glasses. Often patients who are registered as blind or partially sighted can still achieve usable vision with the help of magnifying glasses.
These can be purchased privately or a referral to the hospital for free magnifiers can be arranged.
