Hi Both,
I faced this dilemma recently as wasn't keen to go during the first lockdown. That was before MND had reared its ugly head.
I contacted Boots Opticians via Twitter and they gave me the Branch Managers email. I contacted her and explained I could not speak.
It worked out ok and I did it via thumbs up and down. The optician was a bit of an arse though and although I had my IPad he didn't listen to me. Also when they were taking my details the woman wrote deaf and dumb on my form. I put her right straight away and then she said how do you spell motor neurone disease!!
If wasn't for the lovely assistant manager helping me find suitable glasses I would have walked out.
I go and pick them up this afternoon and yes

I can't speak, so used text to speech for the letter chart, and the rest of the exam didn't require much input from me really 😏
Your local Optician may do home visits, def worth asking. xx
