Home Eye Tests Across Shropshire
Our GOC-registered opticians bring full sight-testing equipment directly to homes right across Shropshire. We travel out to the county town of Shrewsbury and the new town of Telford, north to Whitchurch, Market Drayton and Oswestry near the Welsh border, east to Newport, and down through Bridgnorth to Ludlow in the south of the county. 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.
Shropshire is one of England's largest rural counties, and a home visit saves the long journeys that can be difficult for older patients. We regularly visit care homes, sheltered and retirement housing schemes, and patients who are housebound or find it hard to leave home unaccompanied. 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, and private examinations can be booked too if you would prefer not to wait or do not qualify for NHS cover.
Common Questions — Shropshire
Which parts of Shropshire do you cover?
We cover the whole county, from Shrewsbury and Telford to the smaller rural towns such as Oswestry, Bridgnorth, Ludlow, Market Drayton, Whitchurch and Newport, along with the villages of the Shropshire Hills in between. If you are unsure whether your village or postcode falls within our area, give us a call and we will confirm and arrange a visit.
Will my Shropshire home eye test be free on the NHS?
Many of our Shropshire 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, whether you live in Shrewsbury, Telford or out towards Ludlow.
How soon can you visit my home in Shropshire?
We can normally offer a same-week appointment for most Shropshire addresses, even in more remote spots near Oswestry, Bridgnorth or Market Drayton. For care homes and sheltered housing we can coordinate several residents on the same visit, which is especially helpful in a rural county, and we will always agree a time that suits you and any family member or carer who wants to be present.
