If you’re aged 60 or over, and based in the UK, you’re entitled to receive free prescriptions on the National Health Service (NHS). 

On top of that, you’ll also be able to get a free NHS sight test to make sure your vision is being looked after. Dependent on your circumstances, you could also receive help with the following:

    • the cost of glasses or contact lenses
    • NHS dental treatment
    • travel costs to receive NHS treatment

    However if you’re under 60 and reading this article, then you can still save money on your prescriptions by purchasing a prescription prepayment certificate (PPC). If you’d like to learn more about how you can get a PPC, you can read up on it here
