NHS Sight Test
How to claim your NHS sight test and vouchers with John Fell Opticians
Eye Care Entitlement
Certain groups of patients are entitled to a free NHS sight test and optical vouchers to put to the cost of glasses or contact lenses. To claim your free sight test and vouchers at John Fell Opticians, just show proof of entitlement to one of our staff members and we’ll make sure you receive your sight test or appropriate voucher towards looking after your vision. If you are not eligible for the NHS scheme, you will have to pay privately for your sight test.
