Ophthalmic Services
Do you need an eye examination, or know someone who does?
We welcome bookings from any of the following:
Nursing Homes
Residents of nursing homes can have their eyes examined in familiar surroundings, without the need for transport.
Residential Care Homes
Residents who cannot easily attend a High Street optician can be seen at their care home instead.
Hospitals
Patients who are unable to travel can be given an eye examination at the hospital where they are being cared for.
Day Centres
People who attend day centres can receive their eye examinations during their visit, keeping the day manageable.
How a Home Visit Works
A home visit begins with a conversation about the person being examined, their general health and any difficulties they have with their eyesight. Our Qualified Opticians then carry out the eye examination in the room where the patient feels most comfortable, whether that is their own bedroom, a lounge or a shared area of a care setting.
Because the examination takes place where the patient lives or receives care, families and carers can take part if they wish. Results are explained clearly at the visit, and any follow-up needed is arranged with the patient or their care team.
Serving Dorset and Beyond
Our offices in Bournemouth and Verwood allow us to cover the whole of Dorset, bringing eye care to towns and villages across the county. Visits are arranged around the needs of each patient, so that people who rely on carers or family transport can still receive a thorough examination.
We are also planning to extend our services into other counties in the near future. In the meantime, you can learn more about our team and our work through the pages below.

Mobile-Eyes-UK Ltd is a Home Visiting Optician Service that provides NHS funded eye examinations in your own home.
This service is available throughout Dorset to individuals who, because of illness or disability are NOT able to attend a High Street optician without assistance.
Private eye examinations and spectacle dispensing is also available for people who would rather be seen in the comfort of their own home.
Mobile-Eyes-UK Ltd is owned and run by Qualified Optometrists and Dispensing/Contact Lens Opticians with over 35 years of optical experience.
Private Examinations at Home
Not every eye examination is funded by the NHS, and many people simply prefer to be seen in the comfort of their own home. Private eye examinations and spectacle dispensing are available for anyone who would rather avoid a busy waiting room or a long journey.
Whether you are arranging a single visit or a block booking for several people, the same care and attention from our Qualified Optometrists and Dispensing/Contact Lens Opticians applies. You can contact us to discuss what suits you best.
Free NHS Spectacles and Frames
For people who qualify for an NHS optical voucher, new spectacles can be supplied with both frames and lenses Free of Charge. This means the cost of getting the right glasses does not need to stand in the way of good vision, whether the spectacles are needed for reading, distance or daily tasks.
Choosing frames can feel overwhelming, especially for someone who is unwell or has limited mobility. Our Qualified Opticians take time to talk through the options with you, so that the final choice suits your comfort, your lifestyle and your optical needs.
