I have recently been given Income Related entitlement on top of my Contributions Based ESA, as a result of the big review that's going on. So I am now entitled to free eye tests and glasses.
I haven't had an eye test since the 90s, so will definitely be booking one. I don't think I need glasses for distance as I have no problems there. However, now that I'm over 50 my reading vision has deteriorated and I currently use cheap ready-readers from Asda. When I go for the test, would I be entitled to reading glasses either free or subsidised by The NHS? Or is it only distance glasses that The NHS allow?
Thanks for any advice.

You will probably do better getting your eyes tested instead of relying on an approx from ASDA. In nearly 30 years, your eyesight is bound to have changed, and a professional can pick up all kinds of underlying problems.
Here in Scotland Everyone are entitled to FREE Eye Tests. I personally choose NHS Glasses, some of them are really well designed, that way I do not have to pay at all for my Glasses. I have not paid for a pair of Glasses for over 15 years no.

There are actually different values of vouchers depending on how strong/complex your glasses need to be.

I was playing Suicidal Squid on Linux and had about 30 hours of play invested.
The game shut down unexpectedly when I ejected some missiles and now my game is gone when I tried to reload.
Id really like my DiD game back.
