At Boots Opticians, our range of eye tests, scans and health checks not only assess your vision but also give a detailed picture of your eye health. These tests can help detect wider health conditions such as diabetes and glaucoma — often before you notice any symptoms.
That’s why it’s important to have your eyes checked at least every two years, or as advised by your optometrist, even if your sight feels perfectly fine.
Explore our full range of eye tests, eye scans and contact lens check options to find the right care for your needs.
Our eye tests and eye scans
Our Essential Eye Test
From £29.95
This routine check-up looks at how clearly you can see and how healthy your eyes are. Our Essential Eye Test, which also includes our Dry Eye Evaluation,* costs from £29.95,** but you may be eligible for a free NHS eye test. It's recommended that children have their eyes tested at least every two years, or as directed by your optometrist. Find out more about what happens at an Essential Eye Test here.
NHS eye tests are free for all children under 16 years old and those under 19 years old who are in full-time education. Find out more here.
Our Advanced Eye Test
From £54.95
Our Advanced Eye Test includes an OCT scan (Optical Coherence Tomography), alongside your Essential Eye Test, which also includes our Dry Eye Evaluation.*
Our OCT scan enables us to take a deeper look into your eye, which can help us spot over 10 health conditions including diabetes and high blood pressure. As the Advanced Eye Test includes additional scans beyond the Essential Eye Test, extra charges may apply from £25.***

Our Ultimate Eye Test
From £79.95
Our Ultimate Eye Test combines an optomap® eye scan, with ultra-wide imaging technology, an OCT scan (Optical Coherence Tomography), and your Essential Eye Test - which includes our Dry Eye Evaluation.*
Our Ultimate Eye Test gives our most comprehensive view of your eye health and can detect health conditions that other scans alone might miss.† Because our Ultimate Eye Test involves separate scans to our Essential Eye Test, additional charges from £50 may apply.††
Our Ultimate Eye Test is available in selected stores. Find your nearest store here.
Our contact lens appointments
Contact Lens check
Our contact lens check-up (sometimes called a contact lens aftercare appointment) is for people who already wear contact lenses. This test is for when your contact lenses need checking, but you do not need a sight test. A contact lens check-up costs £50. If you are part of our Contact Lens Rewards Plan or Contact Lens Care plan, your contact lens check-up is included as part of your plan, with no extra cost.
Combined eye test and contact lens check
This test is for when you need both a sight test and a check for your contact lenses. The price of an eye test is from £29.95 and the cost of a contact lens check is £50. Please remember to come wearing your contact lenses (unless advised not to). If you are part of our Contact Lens Rewards Plan or Contact Lens Care plan, this combined appointment is included as part of your plan, with no extra cost.
Eye Test with free contact lens trial
If you are interested in trying contact lenses for the first time, or haven't had contact lenses for a while, we offer a Free Contact Lens Assessment and Trial.‡ If you haven't had an eye test within the last 12 months, this combined appointment will be needed. The price of an eye test is from £29.95.
ODAC Only
If we have contacted you to let you know that your contact lens check is overdue, this is the appointment you need.
