New toy day at the practice! But what’s in the box?! #firstinuk #technology #optometry

[DF Optometrists @DFOptometrists]

Following this evenings announcements we want to re-assure patients that we are open for your eye-care needs.

Your safety is our highest concern and we have strict infection control policies and protocols in place.

@BruceJWEvans Has a similar trial been done for diabetic screening and virtual glaucoma services?

[DF Optometrists @DFOptometrists]

@Optomegeek Shame no gifs! I’ve got a stunning snowstorm-of-a-uveitis video!

[DF Optometrists @DFOptometrists]

We will be open during the forthcoming lockdown to care & provide for our patients in strict accordance with @CollegeOptomUK guidelines and using @PHE_uk Infection Control requirements.
Please don’t ignore any eye symptoms, we are here for you.

⁦@GOC_UK⁩ I'd like to report ⁦@amazon⁩ for breaching UK Law on the sale and supply of contact lenses. There are multiple listings such as these, all of which are in breach. ⁦@CollegeOptomUK⁩ ⁦@opticianonline⁩ ⁦@OptometryToday⁩

@gordonrhay_md @emergeye @Moorfields @EyeducationUK Is that available for us in primary care too?

[DF Optometrists @DFOptometrists]

@turntheslatep @danieldmoses Yes, if you either drop them in to store we can process those for you! There’s a whole bunch of charities, we usually give to @_VAO

[Moorfields Eye Charity @EyeCharity]

From us all at #Moorfields, we want to wish Kenneth Essex happy 100th birthday! And a huge thank you and congratulations for completing his 10km walking challenge yesterday 💙 you are an inspiration to us all. You can still donate: https://t.co/BFFMwKR8RF

@Osborneharle @eyesoneyecare @CollegeOptomUK @GOC_UK The other obstacle is the lack of national commissioning. Means you end up with a total postcode lottery for community ophthalmology provision.

[DF Optometrists @DFOptometrists]

@CollegeOptomUK really misleading wording in this CET. Answer is wrong as it says don’t refract - but the Px has a pair of spectacles already that they can use and take them off to read. The answer doesn’t say you would re-refract them.

[DF Optometrists @DFOptometrists]

@Danielhm2020 @CollegeOptomUK How can we determine which part of amber we are in at any given time?!

[DF Optometrists @DFOptometrists]

@The_AOP Given today’s suprise announcement for dentists, which has caught an entire profession off-guard, we should be prepared for resumption to routine as per dentistry, on the 8th June.

[DF Optometrists @DFOptometrists]

@ahmedhilmi_ @eye_kelly @DharmeshP108 By better utilising primary care. IP optometrists would be more than happy & able to manage lower risk glaucoma in the community. The lack of inter-sector cooperation is a scandal and utterly against the patients’ best interests.

[College of Optometrists @CollegeOptomUK]

You may have seen a recent interview with a @GOVUK official regarding driving and vision. We strongly advise against taking a drive to test your eyesight. If you're concerned about your vision contact your #optometrist for advice. Read our full statement: https://t.co/Ml2UMBXGDQ

[Optician magazine @opticianonline]

Can the likes of @michaelgove and Downing Street special advisers PLEASE stop perpetuating this insane notion of driving a car as a sensible way of assessing eyesight. If any members of the public experience problems with vision, please contact your local optometrist

[Optician magazine @opticianonline]

Any eyesight related topical news going at the moment? Asking for a cartoonist friend...

[DF Optometrists @DFOptometrists]

@Osborneharle @The_AOP @CollegeOptomUK Meanwhile in Barnet....

[DF Optometrists @DFOptometrists]

Thought this was spot on...
