Free Eye Tests for Everyone at All Specscart Stores - No Strings Attached
The NHS recommends that adults should have an eye test at least every two years, while children are advised to have theirs annually. Yet, with rising costs, many people tend to delay or overlook this essential health check. At Specscart, we were founded on the belief that quality eye care and eyewear should be accessible to everyone. That’s why we provide free, comprehensive eye tests across all our stores in Manchester. And when we say everyone, we mean it, whether you’re entitled to NHS benefits or not.
Comprehensive Eye Tests by Qualified Expert Opticians
Our qualified opticians carry out thorough eye examinations using the state-of-the-art equipment to ensure you receive personalised advice tailored to your needs. We create a welcoming environment, giving you the comfort to ask questions at any stage of the test. Each comprehensive eye examination typically lasts around 20 to 30 minutes, and your prescription is provided to you before you leave.
Why a Comprehensive Eye Test is Important?
A comprehensive eye test goes far beyond simply checking your vision or determining your prescription. It involves a detailed assessment of your overall eye health, helping to identify potential issues at an early stage. This ensures that your eye health is never compromised and that any concerns can be addressed before they develop further.
As we age, changes in eyesight become increasingly common. After the age of 40, conditions such as presbyopia often begin to appear, making regular eye tests even more important. For senior citizens, especially, yearly eye examinations are strongly recommended to detect any changes in vision or the onset of eye conditions as early as possible.
How to Schedule a Free Eye Test Appointment at Your Nearest Specscart Store?
Booking a free eye test at your nearest Specscart store is quick and easy. Simply visit our store page, where you’ll find the locations of our three stores in Bury, Walkden, and Urmston. From there, you can check which store is closest to you, open its dedicated page, and book your free appointment based on the next available dates. If your preferred store has no slots left for the day you need, you also have the option to check availability at our other stores.
At Specscart, free eye tests are available for everyone, both NHS voucher holders and those without. And if you face any difficulty while booking, our friendly customer support team is always ready to help via chat, email, or phone.

How much does an eye test cost with Specscart?
It’s free of cost. All you have to do is find your nearest smart eyewear store, book an appointment on our website and show up at the respective address. Our expert optometrists will be waiting to provide you with their guidance.
How often should you have an eye test?
The NHS recommends you to get your eyes tested at least once every two years. At the same time, multiple studies and doctors also recommend that you get your vision checked at least once a year. Our advice? It’s always better to do it sooner than later.
For how long are eye test prescriptions valid?
Typically, eye test prescriptions are valid up to two years after you get your eyesight checked.
How long does an eye test last usually?
A comprehensive eye test typically takes approximately 20 to 40 minutes. This depends upon the optometrist in-charge and the level of detail involved in the process.
Should I bring anything to my eye test appointment?
Yes, you must bring along your current glasses and your most recent prescription to the eye test appointment – along with any medication that you may be taking.
Now that I have a prescription, can I buy a pair of glasses online using it?
