General Information

When Is My Next Eye Test Due?

Enter the month of your last eye test and add a reminder for your next one to your calendar.

Information last checked: 12 November 2026

Regular eye tests check your vision and the health of your eyes, and can pick up conditions such as glaucoma before you notice any symptoms. The NHS says most people should have one every 2 years, or more often if your optometrist recommends it.

Enter when you last had your eyes tested and we will work out when your next test is due. You can add a reminder straight to your calendar.

1. When was your last eye test?

Not sure? Your optician can tell you, or pick your best guess.

2. How often should you go?

The NHS says most people should have an eye test every 2 years, or more often if your optometrist recommends it. Book sooner if you notice any change in your vision.

Why regular eye tests matter

An eye test is a health check as well as a vision check. Some conditions, such as glaucoma, often have no early symptoms, so a regular test is the best way to find them early. Book sooner if you notice any change in your vision.
