Lockdown 2.0 !

We are delighted to confirm that we are able to remain open during the current lockdown period. To minimise the number of people on the premises at any one time, we have decided NOT to operate any double clinics until further notice. We have also been advised that we should prioritise patients who are having problems with their eyes over more routine ones, so please bear with us

Due to ongoing Covid restrictions, disinfection and infection control, we still have slightly limited capacity and are operating with more limited staffing, so please bear with us if there are delays when calling

We have done our utmost to make the practice as safe as possible for both patients and staff. To comply with social distancing, the number of patients in the practice will be limited to 4. This will increase as the distancing regulations change. We have extensive plastic screening within the practice, all equipment is sanitised after each use, and frames are sanitised after trying on. We use a computer frame and lens measurement system for accuracy and to minimise contact. We are providing a hand sanitiser point by the door, and we request that all patients should use this. Face coverings are mandatory unless exempt. We ask everyone to use the NHS Test & Trace App - it is simple to download to your smartphone, and very easy to use. Don't worry if you don't have this though, we just require you to fill out a slip (provided by the front door) with your name, and contact details

Should you have, or think you have any Covid symptoms, please DO NOT come in to the practice. 

For out of hours URGENT eyecare or concerns, please use the MECS (Minor Eye Conditions) service, which is available on 0330 100 4730

Thankyou for your help and understanding. This has been, and still is, a very difficult time for everyone, but we hope you manage to stay healthy, and very much look forward to welcoming you back

Best wishes from Joe, Alison and all the Staff
