Why We Do This

Supporting Older Adults With Accessible Eye Care

Many people find it difficult to travel to an optician due to age, mobility challenges or health conditions. Our goal is to make NHS-funded eye care easier to access for those who may struggle to attend an appointment in person.

A Safe, Comfortable Experience at Home

Home visits are carried out by qualified, DBS-checked optometrists who bring all the equipment needed to perform a full, NHS-funded eye examination in the comfort of your own home.
