I have been wanting an eye test for ages, but haven't wanted to pay for one, so this will do nicely. Heat Added. :thinking:

be warned - my dad got his eyes tested with tesco using this offer before christmas and when he got new glasses at specsavers (using said prescription) it turned out tesco gave him an incorrect prescription. thankfully specsavers offered a new eye test and he can now see properly!

No stores near me but great find! Heat, heat...!!

voted cold because a free presecription is useless if it is wrong

so you vote cold cos they got 1 eye test wrong
you muppet

Erm all eyetests are free as long as u havent had one recently

Thanks

Wrong wrong wrong.

Eye tests are only free if you are under 18, or if you or over 40 and have a family member who had or has glaucoma or catteracts.

Otherwise an eye test can cost you up to around £40

I have had an eye test at Tescos (they were giving them away since they opened up a new opticians in our local store) and it was absolutely fine.

Specsavers are (locally) the absolutely terrible for customer service.

I would get a free eye test and then go to your local opticians to get a deal.

Eye tests are free for children up to 16, UNLESS they stay on for further education til 18. I know this because my daughter still gets free eye tests and she is 16, doing A levels. However, none of the kids FREE specs fitted her and she needed to pay for adult ones (with the NHS voucher). My hubby (45) gets free eye test sbecause his mother has glaucoma. By the way it has to an immediate family member (Mother, father etc)

Others who get free eye tests are those on certain benefits (i.e. income support) and OAPs.

Come to Scotland, we get them free everywhere \0/

Quite right. Eyetests are not universally FREE. There are exceptions if your unemployrd, low income, age etc.

This is definitely good :thumbsup:

No Tesco's around here have an opticians in them unfortunately.

How many Tesco stores have opticians in them? In the few I've been in up and down the country, I've never seen one in there to be honest.

Or you work for a company that either pays or contributes, or are in receipt of certain benefits.

:-DI was just about to say that.............lol

Probably a Tesco Value eye test :-D

D&A vouchers for free tests have been around for years.
Probably still going.

OK provided you can deal with pressure sales methods to encourage you to buy.

Not true actually. You need to be on Income Based Job Seekers Allowance to obtain any benefits. If you're on Contribution Based Jobseekers Allowance you get nadda! Nothing! Not even a penny!

Voted hot though and my local Tesco has an opticians which is always empty!

Sainsburys sent me a Nectar coupon (yesterday) for a Free eye Test at D & A plus 100 bonus points. Plus you get 2000 points when you buy a pair of glasses from them, not sure if it's a general circular or restricted to certain locations.

T & C say hand coupon and nectar card to D & A to get free eye test. Offer not transferable. only original coupons will be accepted.

You never know if you've got a nectar card, there might be one on it's way to you

I've not had an eye test for about 15 years. Since I was at school. And even that wasn't a proper test, just the old wooden spoon over the eye thing.

What would a test involve? If it's just reading stuff off a sign then I can leave that but I'd quite like to have a proper eye test to see if I have 20/20 vision. Assuming there is such an eye test? Never been to an opticians.

But isnt that the whole point of an eye test i.e. u know that they'll tell u your eyes need glasses whether u need them or not in order to get a sale?
