Do internet opticians take NHS vouchers?

welf_man

I need new varifocals, and am entitled to a £57-odd voucher - I've looked at a couple of sites, but unless I'm missing something, can't see a way of using it online.

Anyone know different?

Thanks,
Mel.

I had a relative who was in a similar position to you and unfortunately, he was informed that it was NOT possible to user the NHS voucher for online purchases - apparently, the voucher system is quite long winded and bureacratic - and online is fast (not how the Govt agencies like it!)

Sorry to put a downer on things.

My friend has a website selling glasses, www.iris.org.uk use the code 156459 for an extra 5% off your purchase, this is what he says about nhs vouchers,

Do you accept NHS vouchers ?
Yes we do.You'll need to order the glasses and pay for them as normal. Then when you have received them and are happy with them, you would sign and date the form in the appropriate places and then post it back to us. If the form has been completed correctly we will refund you with the appropriate value (up to the maximum value of the order) using the payment method that you used to order the glasses. If you need any more information please contact us.


Good luck.

Thanks for that - unfortunately they don't do varifocals, but I'll keep looking now I know at least one site will do it.
