Our Vision is Precious.
Care Home Populations often have the greatest need for services when it comes to maintaining their health.
Visioncall Opticians are acutely aware of this need, which is why we regularly liaise with the management of all the nursing venues we provide eyecare to, working together to ensure that everyone has regular check ups to prevent and diagnose any potential conditions which may affect a person’s eyesight, and ultimately their quality of life.
Visioncall will always do our very best to maintain and improve everyone’s Vision, so that we can all enjoy the richest experiences life has to offer. Each test is specific to the individual in front of us, putting them and their needs at the centre of what we do.
With clinical staff located in every region of Ireland, your visiting optician is always a local member of your community.
We’ll provide a detailed report for your care plans afterword. All glasses will be engraved, hand delivered & fitted.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. We have the latest, portable versions of the equipment you find in a typical High Street Opticians. We can check all the same things as a high street optician including your vision, prescription, eye health, eye pressure and visual fields. All Visioncall Opticians are fully qualified and registered , with many years of experience.
It’s helpful to have an area in mind where we can set up our equipment to conduct the eye testing. This area should be a room large enough to situate 3 people or so
It should be a room in which we can alter the level of light from Bright to Dark.
As some residents may be hearing impaired, the room should be quiet.
This could be a clinical room, a reading room or an unoccupied bedroom.

Patients with dementia can sometimes be overlooked. Efforts should be made to include this most vulnerable sector of society for regular eye examinations. A 2017 study found each of the four key tests of an eye examination (retinoscopy, subjective, direct ophthalmoscopy,tonometry ) was possible in over 80% of people with dementia.
Our cutting edge Optical Lab will get working on your glasses the moment your dispense has been completed. Certain Lenses (Bifocal/Varifocal/ Thin and light etc) may need to be specially made first, before they are cut into your Optical Frame. Once all is ready, your glasses will be hand delivered and fitted by one of our Eye Care Co-Ordinators, generally within 2 weeks.
If we supplied your glasses, we will have your prescription and frame details on file. Contact us and we can arrange a repair or replacement.
