The Coronavirus COVID19 pandemic has shaken the entire world. Within the space of months everything has changed. Something as important as looking after your eyes and vision has become less straightforward and increases the exposure to risk to yourself and the optometrist.
Thankfully, with careful planning, proper personal protective equipment (PPE) and the latest examination technology, it is possible to get your eyes tested safely and with even more care and accuracy than before.

Rest assured we will be open, but we will have to control the number of people in the practice at any one time.
When you arrive we will ask you to:
Use the hand sanitiser as you enter our practice
Let us take your temperature
We need to reduce the risk of people bringing the virus into the building so we will use a non-contact thermometer as you arrive. If your temperature is high, we’ll advise you to seek medical advice and return once it is normal
