Overview
Sight tests carried out in special educational settings (SES) form part of NHS England’s Special Schools Eye Care Service. These sight tests are claimed through a special education setting sight claim, which is now submitted digitally using PCSE Online.
Only approved special educational setting providers can submit these claims.
For information about the service model, eligibility and commissioning, visit NHS England’s Special Schools Eye Care Service guidance.
Submitting a special educational setting sight claim in PCSE Online
