Alright, gather 'round, folks. Here are the lucky ducks who get to say "I'll have what she's having" to the NHS eye test:

• Kids under 16 - Yep, you heard it right. The little ones get a free pass!

So, what's the catch?

You might be wondering if there's a hidden catch, like having to juggle flaming chainsaws while singing the national anthem backwards. But no, it's not that bad!

And there you have it, folks! The fun and fabulous guide to who gets a free NHS eye test. Now go forth and get your peepers checked - your eyes will thank you!
