NHS Glasses

If you need a new prescription after your free NHS eye test, your Optometrist will issue an optical voucher if you are entitled to help towards the cost of glasses or contact lenses.

Those entitled are:

• You are under 16 or aged 16-18 and in full-time education.
• You or your partner receives Income Support.
• You or your partner receives Income-based Jobseeker's Allowance.
• You or your partner receives Pension Credit Guarantee Credit.
• You're entitled to, or named on, a valid NHS tax credit exemption certificate.
• You are named on a valid HC2 certificate.
• You are prescribed complex lenses (supplement only).

If you want more information on the NHS Free eye test or contributions towards the cost of glasses, just speak to your local Leightons Opticians branch or contact the NHS directly on 0845 46 47.
