No, I don't think so. But if you're unemployed in the holidays and claiming Job Seeker's Allowance, you should be able to get a free eye test (and maybe even free glasses, or money off, but correct me if I'm wrong...).

If you're 18 yes, if you're over 18 and on a low income (like most students) and fill out an HC11 form (this also gets you free prescriptions etc etc etc)

Haven't had the eye test yet, - just went to get the appointment, I'm going again later on. I'm not sure that I'll find the shining of the torch light as amusing as you did!

No really it's great, except when the optician threatens to put a bucket on your head...

Make strange ghost sounds and see how far it gets you before she takes it off your head.

yeah the opticians is a blast...im really short sighted so i memorised the big letter A at the top of the letter chart (you know the one that has letters on each line and they get smaller as you reach the bottom). Yeah i memorise it cos i cant even read the big letter! God im so blind....everythings a blur. but yeah the opticians is great fun!!

I might pass on that! Don't want to upset the optician seeing as I'm paying good money for the test! Never knew people had soo much fun when they go to the opticians.
