Domiciliary Eye Care in Colchester

Essex's oldest recorded town, home to numerous residential care homes and nursing facilities serving its growing elderly population. Templeman Opticians provides comprehensive home visit eye tests throughout Colchester, bringing professional optometry services directly to patients who are unable to visit a high-street practice.

Whether you are a care home manager looking for a reliable domiciliary optometry partner, or a family member seeking eye care for a housebound loved one, we deliver the same thorough examination you'd receive in a practice — in the comfort and familiarity of your own home.

Our optometrists are GOC registered, DBS checked, and experienced in working with patients with dementia, Parkinson's, stroke, and other conditions affecting mobility and communication.
