Home Eye Tests
For some people, travelling to the practice isn’t always possible. At iCare, we bring our expertise to you with Home Eye Tests — providing the same high-quality care in the comfort of your own home.
Using specialist portable equipment, our optometrists can carry out a full eye examination wherever you are, whether at home, in residential care, or in assisted living facilities. You’ll receive the same thorough checks as you would in practice, along with clear advice and tailored recommendations.
If glasses are needed, we can arrange a follow-up visit to deliver and fit them personally.
