Patients registered with Stockbridge Surgery are eligible to be seen under The Community Urgent Eyecare Service (CUES). This provides urgent assessment, treatment or referral for sudden onset eye problems such as flashes, floaters, vision loss or minor eye injuries.

This is a FREE NHS service provided by accredited optometrists (also commonly known as opticians). They are better placed than GPs to assess eye conditions as they have access to more specialised equipment. They can refer directly to the Eye Hospital if required.

What Symptoms Can Be Treated by the Urgent Eyecare Service?

• Red or painful eye or eyelids
• Recently occurring flashes and floaters
• Recent and sudden loss of vision
• Foreign body in the eye
