Your community optometrist (optician) is now your first point of contact should you have concerns about your eyes or vision.<\/p>\n
An optometrist is the professional who can best manage any eye problem and can arrange urgent hospital attention should that be necessary.<\/p>\n
The hospital eye clinics no longer offer a walk-in service.<\/p>\n
Contact your usual optician. If you do not have one, any local optician will help you with a suitable appointment or appropriate advice.<\/p>\n
The service is paid for by the NHS so there is NO COST to you.<\/p>\n
The optometry appointment may not need to be the same day, but urgent issues will receive urgent attention. On busy clinic days you may have to wait.<\/p>\n
If the optician you contact cannot see you, they will either give you advice or arrange for you to be seen elsewhere.<\/p>\n
