NHS Eye Tests in Twickenham
At The Optical Gallery Twickenham, we provide NHS-funded eye examinations for eligible adults and children. Every test includes a full prescription check, eye health screening and assessment for common conditions such as glaucoma and cataracts. Our clinicians take the time to explain your results clearly, ensuring you receive the same high standard of care as our private appointments.
NHS Help Toward Glasses
If you qualify for an NHS-funded sight test, you may also be eligible for an NHS optical voucher to reduce the cost of your glasses. These vouchers are available for children, students and adults receiving certain benefits or exemptions. We accept all NHS vouchers and will help guide you through frame and lens options that suit your prescription, comfort and personal style.
