NHS Exemption card?

Got my card but is it just for Priscriptions from the doctors or can you use it for the dentist and opticans. Is there anything else you can use it for?

    sammi i got a form from mw a couple months ago, ask her when you next go or just go to doctors and get one then you send the form off and they send you the card back.

    in the letter that came with my exemption card it says doctors and dentists, not opticians. i only think u can get those optcians and glasses vouchers if ur on an income related benefit, ie income support, income based job seekers
