We currently are still open to patients as normal-but have been advised by the NHS In Wales that we should be only seeing ‘essential’ rather than routine NHS eye examinations.

We will need to triage you for the appointment to ensure that this is the case-but we are here to look after your eyes and optical needs as best we can.

We can post contact lenses and spectacles direct to you to try and reduce the social contact to help this current situation.

We may be forced to reduce opening times and full staff availability as this will have a significant effect on our business-if that is the case though we will advise on this as soon as we can.

I want to re-assure you that we will still do everything to ensure we provide our same ‘PERSONAL CARE’ and are taking the situation very seriously with continuous cleansing and disinfecting within the practice to protect anyone who needs to attend.

Our amended hours at the moment are 9.00-5.00 Mon-Fri and 9.00-12.30pm on Sat.

If any query then do not hesitate to contact the practice by telephone.

Hope we all stay well and healthy

Ian Chalmers
