Home Visit

What Is a Home Visit Eye Test?

A home visit eye test is conducted by a qualified optometrist in your home. We offer this service for patients who may have difficulty leaving their residence due to health, mobility or accessibility reasons. It allows us to assess your vision and visual needs within your everyday surroundings and provide support that suits your lifestyle.

What to Expect During a Home Visit

During a home visit, we assess your specific needs, discuss your concerns, and recommend tailored solutions to optimise your vision and enhance your daily life.

Your appointment includes:

• Comprehensive eye examination – checking vision, refractive errors, and eye health

• Health and lifestyle discussion – understanding how your daily activities affect your eyes

• Home environment review – identifying ways your surroundings may impact your vision

We may assess:

• Lighting – recommending improvements to help reduce eye strain or improve clarity

• Furniture layout – offering suggestions to support safety and visual function

• Accessibility – identifying ways to make your home more vision-friendly

Tailored Support and Recommendations

Following your appointment, we will guide you with solutions such as:

• Updating glasses prescriptions to support clearer vision

• Providing low vision aids such as magnifiers or electronic devices, where appropriate

• Recommending lighting adjustments to reduce eye strain and improve comfort

• Outlining home modifications to enhance safety and ease of use

We tailor all our advice to your unique needs and the latest clinical evidence.
