Optometry - Emergency eye provision
If you have concerns about your eye(s) or vision you should phone your normal optometry practice as a first step (link to http://www.plm-optometrists.co.uk/documents/20200325_Optom_Practice_Availability_GG.pdf) If it does not offer telephone support (or if calls are not transferred to another practice) then phone the closest local practice that does. You will then be given further help and advice from an optometrist. If it is then decided that an emergency appointment is required, then this will be arranged for you. This will normally be at an optometry practice but, only if absolutely necessary, hospital consultations can also be organised.
As from 7th April emergency eye appointments in the community are only available from a limited number of practices. These have the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) required to reduce the infection risk for both patients and practitioner'
The link will be updated regularly so that patients will be able to access the optometrist that are available
Coronavirus Update - PLEASE READ
What we are doing at the Practice

From Monday 23rd March, any patient that suspects they have the symptoms of Coronavirus is NOT to phone or come to the Practice but are to phone 111 instead
Prescriptions - please phone the Practice after 11am to request your medication which will now need to be sent to a pharmacy. So please tell staff which local pharmacy you want your prescription to go to. Please do not come to the surgery to request your medication. Please do not order early or order more than your usual amount as this will only disrupt the supply chain at the pharmacy.

They are specialist nurses with advanced training who can prescribe and refer to hospital with GP approval.

By freeing up a GP appointment, you are allowing someone with a significant complex problem to be seen:
