MINOR EYE CONDITIONS SERVICE

The Minor Eye Conditions Service can be accessed to treat recent eye problems such as sore eyes, red eyes or visual disturbance.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

Conditions that can be seen under the service include: 

  • Red eye or eyelids
  • Dry eye, or gritty and uncomfortable eyes
  • Irritation and inflammation of the eye
  • Significant recent sticky discharge from the eye or watery eye
  • Recent and sudden loss of vision

THE IMPORTANCE OF EYE TESTS

To be eligible for this service you need to be registered with a local GP. It is available to people of any age – adults and children. Children under 16 years old must be accompanied by an adult at their appointment. If your condition is more serious, we will book you an urgent appointment at a hospital eye clinic. Additionally if you need a routine appointment with a hospital, we will organise this for you.

This service is not suitable for major eye conditions that are being regularly monitored by your optometrist or hospital eye service such as cataracts, diabetic retinopathy or glaucoma.

We are here to help you make the right choice
