Specs Oncall was founded in 2024 with a simple mission: to make quality eye care accessible to everyone. We are an NHS-approved mobile optical service, bringing professional eye examinations, prescription glasses and aftercare directly to people's homes, care homes and workplaces. Our home eye care service supports elderly and vulnerable people who struggle to visit high street opticians, helping them receive the care they need in familiar, comfortable surroundings. We work closely with care homes, providing regular eye care clinics, personalised glasses identification, communication with families and quarterly aftercare visits. Alongside our domiciliary services, we provide corporate eye care to businesses of all sizes. Our workplace clinics allow employees to receive eye examinations conveniently at work, including DSE eye testing and prescription safety eyewear assessments where required. We help employers meet their eye care obligations while supporting employee wellbeing and minimising disruption. What makes Specs Oncall special is our commitment to personalised care. We never rush our patients, and we manage the entire process, from eye examinations and choosing glasses to delivery, fitting and ongoing aftercare. Our ambition is to transform how people access eye care across the UK, using technology and innovation to make optical services more convenient and accessible.

My journey began with a simple observation during my work as an optometrist. I was meeting elderly and vulnerable people who had been struggling with their eyesight for years, often because they couldn't get to their local opticians. I knew something needed to change. In 2024, I launched Specs Oncall with a mission to make professional eye care more accessible. Starting a business from scratch while continuing to work as an optometrist has been one of the biggest challenges of my life. I've had to learn everything from marketing and business development to managing operations, building relationships and delivering a reliable service. There have been setbacks, long days and plenty of lessons along the way. But every time I visit a patient and see the difference better eyesight can make to their life, I'm reminded why I started. Today, Specs Oncall provides eye care to people in their homes, care homes and workplaces across several regions of England. I'm particularly proud of the relationships we've built with care homes, families and patients who trust us with their eye care. I'm now working towards a much bigger vision: using technology and innovation to make accessing eye care easier for people across the UK. There's still a long way to go, but I'm proud of how far Specs Oncall has come and excited about what lies ahead.
