Home eye tests for those in need

Of all the senses, eyesight is the one we fear losing the most. Having been diagnosed with astigmatism and long-sightedness aged five, my visits to the optician are imperative.

It’s not so easy keeping your eye health in check, though, if you can’t get out and about unaccompanied. That’s why Specsavers are offering free home eye tests to those who are mainly housebound or in a care home.

Why am I telling you this? Because a survey conducted for the famous brand found that most people are unaware of this vital service. Should have gone to Specsavers?

Go to specsavers.co.uk or call 0800 652 8272 to find out if you’re eligible.
