Do any opticians offer free eye tests?

[CliffyBiro]

Sitting 3 feet from my monitor atm and finding it hard to make out normal sized text.

Over the last year I have noticed my vision deteriorating and I have had glasses before but was told I no longer needed them by my optician.

Should have really got this out of the way whilst I was still in a job as they would have paid for the test and 100 quid towards glasses if neccessary.

Any ideas guys and gals?

Aye up here in Scotland they do

Otherwise I think you have to stump up the money

None that do a free one as far as I am aware, maybe worth trying local ones to see though.

Although I think an eye test is only £14 anyway, although if your not working you may get it for free.

Cheers mate, i havnt had a eye test for about 5+ years recently my older brother had a eye test and needed glasses for driving so I think its worth me getting a check up. Will goto my nearest Tesco on Thursday for a free eye test!
