Free NHS Eye Examination

Call 01698 861333 to book

In Scotland, everyone is entitled to a free NHS funded eye examination. As well as checking your vision, an eye test is an important health check too. As part of your eye test, the Optician will check your vision, assess whether glasses are required to improve your vision and carry out various tests to check the health of your eyes. There are many common eye problems such as cataracts, macular degeneration, diabetic eye disease and glaucoma which can be picked up an managed by the Optician. As well as eye problems, sometimes more general and systemic health conditions such as high blood pressure or diabetes could be identified in an eye test. It is recommended that you should have an eye check every two years. Sometimes we will recommend a more regular check every year but this will vary person to person. If you haven't had an eye check in the last two years, give us a call to book an appointment.
