Emergency Eyecare
At Eric Mercer's, we are delighted to offer an accredited Emergency Eyecare service. This is part of a new NHS-funded referral scheme. The scheme - known as NI PEARS - recognizes the role of specially trained optometrists as the first port of call for eye problems.
It means that if you develop a "red eye" or other sudden eye complaint, you can have it assessed urgently in our practice instead of having to go to your GP surgery or hospital A&E. As well as offering greater convenience, this new scheme also helps free up GP and hospital appointments.
