Vision Care For Homeless People

Vision Care for Homeless People provides free eye care to homeless and other vulnerable people through our volunteer run clinics, based in homeless day centres because we know that homeless people are particularly disadvantaged when it comes to obtaining sight tests, glasses and eye care.  Our patients suffer a higher level of eye problems than the general population and can be unwilling or unable to access mainstream services available through the NHS, plus are prone to losing or breaking their glasses.

Our clinics can be the only place where people can get free eye care. We receive gifts in kind from our friends in optics and rely on charity fundraising to help us provide our services. Optometrists and clinic assistants volunteer their time providing a friendly professional service to everyone who comes to a clinic. This means that people can get a free eye test regardless of whether they qualify for NHS funding - and if they need glasses - these are free too. People can come back again to see us if they lose or break their glasses and we will replace them free of charge.

People who are homeless are also more likely to suffer from conditions such as cataracts, glaucoma, or binocular vision problems which if untreated causes dizziness, headaches, eye pain and blurred vision. They can also have a higher risk of macular degeneration and might suffer from untreated health problems - such as diabetes - which can lead to blindness. So being able to have a free eye test can really help people get treatment when they need it.
