We've partnered with Ocushield to provide members, including family and friends, with access to unlimited online eye screening tests.
Your online eye screening test
The online eye screening test provides an accurate and comprehensive eye screening from the comfort of your own home or office. The test is ideal if you want a quick convenient way to take control of your eye health or if you face barriers in accessing traditional eye exams.
The test isn't designed to replace a regular eye examination with an Optician and it's recommended that you visit your Optician every two years. However, it's a quick and easy way of understanding any vision changes or eye strain you may be feeling.
Convenience
Available to take on your mobile and desktop devices
Quick and easy
Check multiple areas of eye health in under 7 minutes
Results and Reports
After taking the test, you'll receive your results immediately with clear advice
Unlimited access
Eye health screening tests are provided on an unlimited basis and are also available to the member's friends and family
How the online eye screening test works
The Ocushield eye health screening test uses common eye testing methods which check for any vision changes, colour vision abnormalities, muscle balance issues, visual field defects and depth perception difficulties. A full report is generated providing the results for each test with practical guidance on looking after your eyes and indicating any need for further intervention.
You'll be asked to confirm if you're a Benenden Health member or a relative/friend.
