  • Covid-19 Urgent Eye Service (CUES) Provided by Primary Care Optometrists
    Manchester Royal Eye Hospital Information for Patients Covid-19 Urgent Eye Service (CUES) Provided by primary care Optometrists Accidents and emergencies related to your eye may still happen at this time; patients can seek help in the community to avoid a visit to the hospital. A service has been set up so patients can access free urgent NHS care at an Optometry practice. There are a number of practices delivering this service, so you should not have to travel far. A network of Optometrists in Manchester and Trafford has been working with Manchester Royal Eye Hospital to create a service which allows Optometrists in the community to assess and treat patients. Some Optometrists have equipment to take scans of the eye and others have had additional training to allow them to prescribe eye medications. The service has been set up so optometrists can share information with the hospital to get an extra opinion when required. Sometimes patients may be sent onto the hospital if further care is needed. If you have an urgent eye problem, please look through the list of optometry practices at the end of this document, and contact a practice using the telephone numbers provided in the table. When you call, you will be asked a number of questions about your eye problem and your general wellbeing. This will help decide whether you need a face to face appointment or a telephone or video consultation. The optometry practice will follow social distancing guidelines and have Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to use. If you have coronavirus, have coronavirus symptoms, are self-isolating or being shielded – please do get in touch using the contact details below if you have an eye emergency – the practice will provide advice best suited to your individual situation.
