Wyre View Opticians now part of CUES Eyecare Service

The Lancashire and South Cumbria Eye Health Network has launched an innovative new service called COVID Urgent Eyecare Services (CUES) to support urgent eye care needs. People in the area who need urgent eye care should contact Wyre View Opticians or NHS 111 without delay. The sooner treatment can be provided, the better the chances of eye health recovery.

The CUES is delivered by selected local opticians which includes Wyre View Opticians in partnership with hospital ophthalmology services. It uses technology to provide remote consultations so patients can easily access services, reducing the need for travel and hospital visits. The service provides the quickest access to the right care for patients. This is crucial, as delays to treatment can have a serious impact on long-term eye health, and in some cases even result in sight loss. Seeking help early will increase the chance of a positive outcome. People can access the service by first contacting their local opticians or NHS 111.

“If you are having issues with your eyes, please don’t put off or delay treatment as the consequences on your sight could be detrimental.”
