Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether colorimetry spectacles can be purchased with NHS optical vouchers.

National Health Service optical vouchers are available to help with the cost of glasses considered necessary to help correct a defect of sight. Coloured lenses that do not contain a prescription power and are not prescribed to correct a defect in sight, would not be eligible for funding via an NHS optical voucher.
