Home Eye Tests Across Derby
Our GOC-registered opticians bring full sight-testing equipment directly to homes right across Derby and the wider Derbyshire area. We travel into Derby city centre and out to suburbs such as Allestree, Mickleover and Chaddesden, as well as the towns of Belper, Ripley, Ilkeston and Swadlincote down in South Derbyshire. Whether you live near the Markeaton Park side of the city or in a village along the A6 towards Belper, the same portable test chart, retinoscope and digital instruments come to your front room, so there is no need to arrange transport to a high street branch.
We regularly visit care homes, sheltered and retirement housing schemes, and patients who are housebound or find it difficult to leave home unaccompanied across Derbyshire. If you are eligible — for example aged 60 or over, diabetic, registered sight-impaired, or unable to leave home on your own — your home eye test is funded by the NHS, and we handle the paperwork for you. Same-week appointments are usually available around Derby, and private examinations can be booked too if you would prefer not to wait or do not qualify for NHS cover.
Common Questions — Derby
Which parts of Derby and Derbyshire do you cover?
We cover Derby city centre and its suburbs, including Allestree, Mickleover and Chaddesden, along with surrounding Derbyshire towns such as Belper, Ripley, Ilkeston and Swadlincote. If you are unsure whether your street or postcode falls within our area, give us a call and we will confirm and arrange a visit.
Will my Derby home eye test be free on the NHS?
Many of our Derbyshire patients qualify for an NHS-funded home eye test at no cost to them. You are usually eligible if you are aged 60 or over, diabetic, registered sight-impaired, or unable to leave home unaccompanied. If you do not meet the NHS criteria, we also offer competitively priced private examinations across areas such as Belper and Swadlincote.
How soon can you visit my home in Derby?
We can normally offer a same-week appointment for most Derby addresses, whether you are in Mickleover, Chaddesden or out towards Ilkeston and Ripley. For care homes and sheltered housing we can coordinate several residents on the same visit, and we will always agree a time that suits you and any family member or carer who wants to be present.
