COVID – 19 Update
In line with the most recent public health control measures regarding Coronavirus Covid-19. We have made a number of immediate changes to the delivery and operation of our optometry services. In line with NHS guidelines we have suspended all routine optical services until advised otherwise. The definition of a routine service is when the client is not complaining of any new symptoms or loss of sight. We will be providing urgent and essential services by telephone only. This includes:-
Essential eye care
Routine eyecare will no longer be delivered under General Ophthalmic Services (GOS). This includes but is not limited to appointments for patients who would not normally be considered to be emergencies. But where, in the practitioner’s professional judgement, a delay in an examination may be detrimental to a patient’s sight or wellbeing. This may include where clients have broken or lost their glasses or contact lenses and need a replacement pair to function. If you have broken your glasses or need an urgent supply of contact lenses please call Saddleworth on Greenfield 01457 353100 or Holmfirth on Meltham 01484 907090 -
Urgent or emergency eye care
Urgent or emergency eye care will be provided via the NHS or privately and is will be available for our Oldham and Saddleworth clients by calling 0161 678 7312 and for our Meltham, Huddersfield and Holmfirth clients by calling 01484 659119
