We very much look forward to welcoming our patients back.
(Please note no reminders for eye examinations or contact lens aftercare are being sent as this constitutes a routine appointment which NHS Scotland suggests may be part of Phase 3 (mid-July) or Phase 4.)
We are now open for essential and urgent eye care appointments, this includes:
•Lost or Broken Spectacles or Contact Lenses
•Eye Conditions Causing Pain or Loss of Vision
•Any Other Concerns About Your Eyes or Vision
We have sent our risk assessment to NHS Lanarkshire and have added additional procedures which are not mandatory to ensure our patient safety such as contactless temperature checks, UVC sterilisation of frames and remote video consultations with patients.
From the latest Government guidance, it looks as though we may be able to see patients for appointments from August. With this in mind, we would like to keep you up-to-date on the steps we are taking as we face the new normal at Mackie Opticians: 👓⤵️
