Me too... at most places as it is paid for NHS for certain qualified people based on either their condition or their income/support.
Not for all as in ALL. Misleading.
So what is unusual this time?.. or is it a marketing stunt? Sorry if i miss the point. Please clarify.0 -
...So what is unusual this time?..
It is free for all, as in ALL

Personally, I've always found it a little sad that people choose to spend such a large proportion of their lives in this way but they do, and we have to deal with it." - MSE Forum Manager 6th July 20100 -
I went down to book an eye test and was told "they can't see me!!!" LOL
I made a spectacle of myself !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!0 -
I went for my free eye test, and they are offering them to anyone no matter what your NHS status, And was very glad i did as not only do i now have a copy of my perscription also the optician noticed some "pigment" at the back of my eye and refered me to my doctor to check up on it. A gret reminder that even if you dont wear glasses you should take advantage of this offer if you havent had your eyes checked in a while. There could be all sorts of things going on back there.
Good to have a free specialist looking after your health :-)0 -
*Great, sorry its too early for my spelling brain :-)0

do you have to buy glasses there or can you shop around for your glasses?0

Of course ALL eye tests are free in Scotland, no matter where you go for the test

Went there months ago for contact lenses test and it was free as well. I think it is I only free as they were so pushy and making me think I needed new glasses even though I had only just got them. Trying to get your prescription to take it elsewhere seemed an impossibility...In control of finances :beer:0
