How can I ask my optician for an eyes check for myself in proper English. I am thinking something along the line of

Can I have my eyes checked?

or 

I would like to have an eyes check, please.

What would be a natural and grammatically correct way to ask?

English is not my primary language. So, I am not sure what is the most appropriate way to ask.

Your first phrase is correct. The second one is close, but you would say:

I would like to have an eye check, please.

instead. You could also say:

I'd like to have my eyes tested.
Can I have an eye test.

Note that even though you want both eyes checked, it is called an eye check or eye test.

I'd like to get my prescription checked.

In this case, your "prescription" is the information that the test produces. Your prescription is used to find appropriate glasses for you.
