NHS Eye Examination
Free NHS Eye Examinations for children
Children up to the age of 16 (or 19, if they're in full-time education) are entitled to free eye tests under the NHS. If they need glasses or contact lenses, you're also entitled to a voucher to use towards the cost.
Whatever eyewear your child needs, involve them in the choosing process. You may think that sober, neutral frames will be best for school and the like, but if they really, really want those pink frames, why not say yes? At least they are likely to be worn more readily!
