EMERGENCY APPOINTMENTS
If you’re experiencing any eye discomfort, pain or eyesight issues, we offer NHS emergency appointments 6 days per week. We will always try to see patients as quickly as possible.
When you come in for your emergency appointment, we will check your vision and run a short eye test to assess the problem you are having. From the results we will be able to find you a solution to the problem which may or may not include suitable medication or treatment.
If you have any concerns about your eyes, please contact us today – we’re here to help.
