NHS Optical Vouchers


OPTICAL VOUCHERS

It's really easy to use your NHS voucher whether you buy online or in the high street. Many online opticians accept NHS vouchers for full or part payment of glasses, prescription sunglasses or reglazing glasses you already own. To search for a high-street optician that does NHS sight tests and will accept NHS Optical Vouchers, follow this link to the NHS website optician search



You can claim between £37.10 and £81.60 off the cost of your new glasses or lenses for glasses.

You can either use your voucher to cover the full cost of your specs, or you can use it as part payment and top up with your own money to buy something really special.

 

Are you entitled to help with the cost of glasses or lenses for glasses? 

The NHS has published a guide to claiming help with the cost of glasses and other prescription items, called the HC11. You can obtain a copy of this guide from your optician, local DSS office, or download a PDF of the HC11.
