NHS Eye Tests in Cheam Village
At The Optical Gallery Cheam Village, we offer NHS-funded eye examinations for eligible adults and children. Each appointment includes a full prescription assessment, eye health evaluation and screening for conditions such as glaucoma and cataracts. Our team provides a calm, thorough experience, ensuring you understand your results and feel confident about your eye health.
NHS Help Toward Glasses
If you are entitled to an NHS-funded eye test, you may also receive an NHS optical voucher to help with the cost of your glasses. These vouchers are commonly issued for children, teenagers in full-time education and adults receiving qualifying benefits. We accept all NHS vouchers in practice and will guide you through appropriate frame and lens choices while making sure your voucher is applied correctly.
