EYE TESTS + EMERGENCIES

In line with current guidance, we are prioritising emergency/urgent and essential care based on needs and symptoms. If you have noticed a problem with your vision or eyes, please call/email us and we will assess your symptoms and book you an in-person appointment with our optometrist if necessary or do a remote consultation where appropriate.

Any patient who is clinical vulnerable/shielding, should also follow this procedure and our Optometrists will take this into account when they determine what’s best for you.

CONTACT LENS ORDERS

Please email us your contact lens order. Your lenses will be sent directly to your home address. If your contact lens prescription has expired, we will arrange a phone consultation with our optometrists to ensure that we can provide you with lenses whilst ensuring we keep you and your eyes safe.

Payment can be made via bacs. Orders are taking 7-10 days due to some delays via royal mail.

REPAIRS/ADJUSTMENTS

Send us a picture via email this will allow us to assess what can be done, when we can do it and advise on costings involved.
