Library records mentioning Free NHS sight test
Report based on a survey carried out by YouGov in 2012. It looks at the public's attitudes to issues such as
sight tests, and knowledge of issues such as the causes of common eye health conditions.
If you are unable to visit a high street
optician by yourself because you have a physical or mental
disability, then this leaflet sets out how to arrange for a
sight test in your own home.
