Eye care for the homeless

Homeless people are not directly entitled to free eye care from the NHS. We would to get them on the criteria list for free eye tests and glasses.

Why is this important?

Research shows that homeless people have more eye problems than the general population. Problems include high prevalence of uncorrected refractive error, cataract and binocular vision problems. This is why we would like to benefit homeless people by providing them with the access to vision care.

How it will be delivered

We will promote on social media and hand out written copies.
