Partner Opticians
Working with optical professionals and organisations across the UK to ensure people experiencing homelessness can access the eye care they need.
Together, we can make eye care more accessible for people experiencing homelessness.
Why optical partnerships matter
For many people experiencing homelessness, accessing eye care can be difficult.
Not everyone lives near a Vision Care clinic, which is why partnerships with local opticians play such an important role. By working together, we can help people access free sight tests, glasses and follow-up care closer to where they are.
Whether through direct patient support, volunteering, fundraising or sector partnerships, optical professionals help us reach more people and remove barriers to eye care.
