Free eye tests.

Hi,I have glaucoma and have had trab surgery on my right eye,I've read my children can have free eye tests, would the opticians need a letter ,or something,how does this work.?

Hi Chris. Your children are entitled to a free eye health check if they are age forty or over. They don't require a letter, just to explain that you have glaucoma is good enough.
