Did you know?

Children as young as 2 years old are recommended to have their NHS-funded eye exam every year at their local community optometrist.

It’s the best way to make sure their eyes are developing properly and to detect any problems early.

Healthy eyes now, mean clearer eyes tomorrow

Red, painful, or irritated eyes?

Your local optometrist can help!

With your local optometrist being your official First Port of Call for eye emergencies, and with the NHS-funded Specialist Supplementary Eye Examination (GOSSS), many eye conditions can be treated safely in the community, saving you a trip to hospital!

Take care of your eyes

Healthy Vision Month 👀🗓️

Good vision starts with prevention and your community optometry practice team can help.

Eye examinations can help detect issues like glaucoma, macular degeneration, and even diabetes – often before you notice symptoms. In Scotland, we are fortunate to have access to NHS funded eye examinations, with no cost to the patient.

NHS-funded eye examinations are available across Scotland.
📍 Find your local optometrist and book yours.
