What you need to bring to your appointment

  1. Medical history Summary from your GP. This can be requested from your GP surgery and is called a ‘GP Patient summary’.

  2. Photo ID - driving license.

  3. Medical Forms: a TLM1 or DLM1 Download HERE.

  4. Are you diabetic? If so bring your record of recent blood sugars on your glucometer.

  5. Do you wear glasses? then bring your glasses/contact lenses as well as your most recent prescription from your optician.

  6. Do you contact lenses? then bring a container to place them in during the eye test as your eyes need to be tested with and without corrective lenses (nb. it may be easier to wear your glasses).
