Skip the GP queue — your local Independent Prescribing Optician can help 👁️
Did you know some optometrists are qualified as Independent Prescribers (IP)? This means they can examine, diagnose and prescribe medication for a wide range of eye conditions without you needing to see your GP first.
At Tuite Opticians Wishaw, our Independent Prescribing Optician can help with:
• Red, sore or irritated eyes
• Conjunctivitis (sticky or watery eyes)
• Eye infections or inflammation
• Dry, gritty or uncomfortable eyes
• Sudden changes in vision
• Eye pain or light sensitivity
• Allergic eye reactions
• Lid conditions such as styes or blepharitis
If something doesn’t feel right with your eyes, it’s always best to get it checked quickly. Many conditions can be treated promptly with prescription drops or medication, helping relieve discomfort sooner and preventing the issue from worsening.
We are open 6 days a week, Monday – Saturday, so you can access expert eye care when you need it.
