Emergency Eyecare
When you have an issue with your eyes . . .
We offer two pathways to emergency eyecare at NHK Opticians . . .
NHS Minor Eye Conditions Service
To qualify for an NHS funded Minor Eye Conditions Service emergency appointment, you will initially be assessed over the phone to confirm your symptoms meet the NHS emergency criteria and to decide how quickly you should be seen.
Demand for these appointments is currently very high.
You may need to travel outside your area to be seen.
If we are unable to see you in the prescribed time period, you will be directed to another participating practice.
To enquire about an NHS Minor Eye Conditions Service emergency appointment, please call one our practices below . . .
The Royal Eye Infirmary at Derriford DOES NOT offer emergency eyecare appointments.
