If your income is over that £935 threshold, you might still get help. NHS Low Income Scheme can provide full or partial vouchers based on your savings and outgoings. It’s a bit like applying for a student loan—lots of forms, but potentially a hefty reward. And don’t forget: many employers offer VDU eye test vouchers if you stare at a screen all day (and honestly, who doesn’t?).
Cultural side note: Remember the viral moment in Bridgerton when Penelope squints at a letter? She had a whole army of footmen to fetch her spectacles. You, my friend, have the internet and a free appointment. Progress, baby.
