👁️ When Should You Seek Urgent Eye Care?

Not every eye worry needs A&E — and that’s where MECS (Minor Eye Conditions Service) can really help.
MECS offers fast, expert assessments for a wide range of sudden eye problems, often without needing a GP referral.

MECS can help with:

• Red or painful eyes
• Sudden changes in vision
• Flashes or floaters
• Something stuck in the eye
• Light sensitivity
• Unusual discharge or watering
• Swollen or stuck-together eyelids

How to access MECS:

• Simply search online for “MECS near me” to find a local practice offering urgent eye care.
• You’ll be seen by an optometrist trained in emergency assessment and treatment.
• If you’re unsure what to do, you can also call NHS 111 for advice and guidance.

When to go straight to A&E:

• Loss of vision in one or both eyes
• Serious injury or trauma to the eye
• Chemicals in the eye
• Sudden, severe eye pain with sickness

If something doesn’t feel right, don’t wait — MECS and NHS 111 are there to help you get the right care quickly and safely.

We didn’t take home the award… but what an evening!

Being shortlisted alongside such big names as a small independent practice is a huge achievement for us, and one we’re incredibly proud of. The night itself was brilliant – great company, delicious food, and plenty of 90s tunes that definitely tempted us onto the dancefloor!

A big thank you to Optician magazine and all the sponsors for hosting such a fantastic event. It was lovely to celebrate our industry and come away feeling inspired (and slightly sore from dancing 💃🕺).

Important (and Slightly Glamorous) Notice

On Saturday 13th December, the team will be at The Royal Lancaster Hotel getting
ourselves glammed up for some very prestigious awards.
(Yes… we’re practising our “surprised winner” faces.)
So the shop will be closed for the day while we attempt to look fabulous.
Thanks for bearing with us —
normal service resumes once the glitter settles!

It’s not just about glasses… it’s about healthy eyes for life.

One of the things we’re really proud of here is the level of technology we use during your sight test. It means we can look after your eyes properly — not just check what prescription you need.

Our OCT scanner lets us see the layers beneath the surface of the retina, a bit like an ultrasound for the eye. It helps us spot tiny changes long before you’d ever notice a symptom… which is exactly what you want when it comes to things like glaucoma, macular issues or general eye health.

And then there’s the DNEye system — clever kit that maps how light travels through your eyes, measuring thousands of data points. It helps us create lenses that are more precise, more comfortable and tailored to how your vision actually works.

If you’ve ever wondered what “the latest equipment” really means, this is it.
Sharper vision, early detection, and peace of mind.

Because it’s not just about glasses… it’s about taking care of the eyes you’ll rely on for a lifetime. 💜👀
