NHS card

Hello!

I'm afraid I don't have the card infront of me at the moment, but I was sent a card (certificate) for myself and my partner through the post which entitles us both to free prescriptions etc. I already get my prescriptions free as it was less than a year when I had my twins, but he wasn't getting them free.

It says we're also entitled to dentist checkups, and eyecare, including help towards contacts. My partner wears monthly contacts, so I was just wondering if anyone knows if we just show the card, and he gets money off. Or do we have to apply for something else?

Many thanks!
