Grampian Eye Health Network

Eye health care appointments are now FREE under the NHS at your local optometrist’s (optician’s). Optometrists are trained to:

• assess urgent eye problems
• perform thorough eye examinations
• check for eye disorders
• manage and treat a wide range of common eye conditions

They can attend to your visual needs no matter your age, from pre-school screening to managing conditions such as glaucoma, a cataract or macular degeneration.

If you have an eye problem, including an eye emergency, you can visit your optometrist for advice. Optometrists have the same equipment as hospital opthamologists. Following your examination they may be able to treat and manage your eye problem at their practice, or refer you to your GP, or to a hospital eye clinic.

All optometrists are qualified with the General Optical Council. NHS Grampian is providing further training and accreditation in eye health.

If you haven’t had your eyes tested for a while, why not make an appointment online or call us today on 01350 723000.
