Wanted Free Eye Test

Options
Hi, does anyone know where my mum can get a free eye test? She wants to order some glasses from Glasses Direct, but her current Optician won't release her prescription to her. :mad:

  • I think that under the data protection act he has to release this information - i would challenge him - alternativley when you place the order they sometimes ask for your opticians details & get the info themselves

    good luck

    Donald and Aitchson (sp?) often advertise free eye tests, my mum has one booked for tomorrow. I think she got hers through her Nectar card.

    I think you will find they have to release her pescription.

    If you join the Boots Health Club you are entitled to a free eye test.

    your mum should have been given a copy of her pescription when she had her eye test .Tell her optician he is breaking the law

    Tesco Magazine, quite often has free eye test vouchers in them + the magazine is also free to take away. Keep checking on a regular basis in Tescos.

    You do not need a Nectar card, click on the link in my post above and print off the voucher

    How recent is her perscription OP? if it is over 2 years old then it cannot be used / handed out, but if recent then yes it should be.
