One part of our general health that most of us neglect is our eye health. We go to the doctor on a regular basis to have our blood pressure or cholesterol checked, but most of us (who don’t wear glasses) neglect our vision.
The silly thing about neglecting your vision is that there is a large proportion of the general public who are entitled to free eye tests.
Some of these people include:
• All children under 16 years of age
• All people under 19 who are still in full time education
• Those over 60 years of age
• Those who need complex lenses
• People with glaucoma
• People with diabetes
• Anyone who is over 40 and has a parent sibling or child who has glaucoma
• Those persons who are on job seekers allowance
• Those persons who are on income support
• Those persons who are on Family tax credit
• Those who is on disabled persons tax
Many of the people who receive benefits are also able to claim a voucher to cover the cost of their new single vision lenses or bifocal lenses. This voucher can also be used as part payment for varifocals or contacts.
