What will this eye health check involve?
Our eye health check service is designed to provide expert care for urgent eye issues. If you're having problems with your eyes and need quick support, our optometrists are ready to assist.
This service ensures that you get the right help, when you need it most, without needing to see or obtain a referral from your GP.
Sometimes these issues will be picked up as part of a routine sight test, but don’t wait until a sight test if you notice any changes or issues developing with your eyes.
