    Urgent eye problems as a percentage of all emergency appointments

Most hospitals have access to urgent eye centres to deal with urgent eye problems. Some operate during normal working hours, others are 24-hour services. You should contact your local hospital who will inform you of the local service provider.

These services are generally not used for ‘walk-in’ patients or as second opinions.

    I’m amazed by the quick, efficient service and ecstatic about the results. I now see car number plates, road signs, and TV text bright and clearly, with everything appearing detailed. This is the best birthday present ever. Thank you so much, please don’t change a thing.
