Glaucoma in family....free eye tests?

olias · 2014-01-10 11:56:47

Hi all, At the grand old age of 47, I have finally decided to get an eye test. My dad has glaucoma, and I have been told that because of this, I am entitled to free eye tests. Can anyone confirm this please? Also, if true, what evidence do I need? I'm assuming i don't just tell the optician and he believes me and takes it…

My mother has had glaucoma and I've had eye tests every 2 years since a teenager. At my most recent test last Easter, they said they'd see me in another 2 years - I was over 40 and they did the additional field of vision etc tests and I didn't have to pay for the eye test.
