Welsh Eye Care Scheme

You can have an eye examination for free if you have an eye problem that occurs suddenly.  You don't need a referral from your GP and can ring any optician, not just one you've used in the past.

Patients with problems such as those listed below can be seen:

  • Minor eye injury
  • Red eye
  • Painful eye
  • Foreign body
  • Sudden loss / change in vision
  • New onset flashes / floaters
