Eye Problems
Sometimes it's easy to forget about our eyes because they often do not hurt when there's a problem.
The doctors at Thorpe Road Surgery encourage patients to get their eyes tested every 2 years (more often if advised by your ophthalmic practitioner or optometrist)
The NHS eye test is free of charge if you are in one of the eligible groups and your sight test is considered clinically necessary. For more information, read about free NHS sight tests and optical vouchers.
