There is a community urgent eye care service that has been set up to deal with the majority of eye complaints. This includes:
- Red or painful eye or eyelids
- Recently occurring flashers or floaters
- Recent and sudden loss of vision
- Foreign body in the eye
Please note this is NOT for a sight test, for which you should contact your optician.
How Do I Book an Appointment With the Service?
You can choose and contact an optical practice directly to make an appointment. This is called self-referral.
Find a local optical practice that offers Urgent Eyecare Service appointments.
You should contact your chosen optical practice by telephone and ask for an urgent eyecare service appointment. Please do not visit the practice without first booking an appointment. You will be asked some questions about your symptoms to assess your needs.
