Emergency Eye Clinic
At Eric Mercer's, we are delighted to offer an accredited Emergency Eyecare service. This is part of a new NHS-funded referral scheme called NI PEARS. It recognizes the role of specially trained optometrists as the first port of call for eye problems.
This 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 attend hospital A&E or your GP surgery. As well as offering greater convenience for you, the PEARS scheme helps free up GP and hospital appointments for other cases.
