miss placed NHS Tax credit exemption certificate

My wife has a NHS tax credit exemption certificate

I've never shown it when picking up her prescriptions, just ticked the box saying she has one.

She has an eye test tomorrow, so thought we better take her certificate with us but we seem to have missplaced it.

Will the optician ask to see the certificate or are they like the pharmacists - i.e.just ticking a box saying she is eligible is good enough?

I believe you would have to pay for it and claim it back.

That appears to be refund claim form.

Are opticians different to pharmacists in that you have to pay 1st and then claim back?

We've found her card now, I told her it was only misplaced and not lost
