July 2021 Covid-19 Update

As per government guidance we remained open during lockdown, however, despite the recent easing of restrictions we are still in an Amber phase and our arrangements for attendance and PPE are unchanged. Please wear a mask and contact us by phone, email or closed door intercom.

We understand that the newer Covid-19 variants are possibly more transmissible and therefore, for the safety of our staff and patients, retain reduced clinic capacity with immediate effect. Please note that our working hours have now changed to Monday-Friday 8.00am to 6.00pm, and Saturday 8.00am to 1.00pm.

Although we are open and here for you, there is a focus on emergency and essential care. We appreciate that for some of you over the last year scheduled appointments may have been delayed or postponed. If this is the case and you have any concerns please contact us. Essential care covers many aspects of what we do, such as:

• Are you noticing any difficulty or having any concerns with your vision/spectacles/contact lenses? If so, essential, continue to book in.
• Do you have medical reasons to monitor your eye health, such as diabetes/glaucoma/a family history of glaucoma? If so, essential, continue to book in.
• Are you on Overnight Vision Correction (OVC)/myopia management hospital contact lenses/a Tear Clinic programme? If so, essential, continue to book in.

If you are due your routine examination and have no concerns, then we recommend that your appointment is deferred, but if you notice any changes please contact us to be seen.

We would like to stress that if you have any concerns then you should contact us in the first instance. Many emergencies may be triaged first via telemedicine before arranging a face-to-face appointment.
