Yes you can get a free eye test, and certain glasses free, if you want nice ones you may have to pay some money towards them

You should be able to get a free eye examination, and definitely at least money off the cost of your glasses. Some of the ranges could also be free. Depends on the area of the country and the opticians.

In Uk you are entitled to free health care - including prescriptions I understand - as long as you are in full time education. Though Child Benefit ends when you reach 19 regardless of your circumstances.

I think it depends on whether or not you mum is entitled to Child Tax Credit and her earnings. You might want to check with HM Revenue & Customs or your local optician

If you are on the welefare program then they will pay for the glasses.

Yes - but feel free to pay if your conscience gets the better of you.
