Welcome to Primary Eyecare
Primary Eyecare provides NHS funded eyecare services across large parts of England. The services are available from the majority of local opticians, from the smallest independent practice to the largest national chains.
Coronavirus (COVID-19)
If you have symptoms of Coronavirus you must STAY AT HOME.
Do not go to an optical practice, hospital, pharmacy or GP surgery if you have either:
- A high temperature – you feel hot to touch on your chest or back
- A new, continuous cough – coughing a lot for more than an hour, or 3 or more coughing episodes in 24 hours or a cough that is worse than usual
- Loss or change to your sense of smell or taste – this means you’ve noticed you cannot smell or taste anything, or things smell or taste different to normal
Use the 111 coronavirus service to find out what to do.
Advice on self-isolation can be found here.
Many Optical Practices remain open to support urgent eye care through our Minor Eye Conditions Services. Please see our Find a practice page.
