    * You live in Derbyshire
    * Your GP is based in Derbyshire
    * You have had a sight test in the last 12 months and your vision can no longer be improved by the use of spectacles

Who can arrange an LVA assessment?

    * Your hospital eye consultant or a member of their team
    * Your GP or Practice Nurse
    * Your Optician or Optometrist

What happens before the assessment?
