Free NHS eye tests in Great BarrAbout our Great Barr practice

Bringing the children?

Children's eye tests are free on the NHS and take about 20 minutes, with after-school slots so you don't need to take them out of class. If your child's prescription keeps getting stronger, ask about Zeiss MyoCare, lenses designed to slow short-sightedness. Free NHS glasses are available from our children's range, with upgrades from £29.
