Am I eligible for free NHS-funded eye tests?

Eligibility: Free NHS eye tests are available to specific groups, including people under 16 (or under 19 and in full-time education), those aged 60 and over, people with diabetes or glaucoma, and individuals at risk of glaucoma as advised by an eye doctor. Additionally, people on certain benefits or with an NHS certificate for full help with health costs (HC2) can also receive free eye tests.
How to Claim: When booking your eye test, inform the optician that you’re eligible for an NHS-funded test. You may need to show proof of eligibility, such as an NHS certificate or benefit entitlement letter.
