CUES
CUES provides NHS-funded urgent eye care for sudden eye problems, reducing unnecessary GP and A&E visits.
Community Urgent Eye Care
The Community Urgent Eyecare Service (CUES) is an NHS-funded service providing prompt assessment and treatment for sudden or urgent eye problems. This service is delivered by our accredited optometrists, who have undergone additional training to manage a range of urgent eye conditions safely and efficiently.
CUES
Some examples of urgent eye problems that can be assessed and treated under CUES include:
- Sudden changes in vision
- Red or painful eyes
- Flashes of light or new floaters
- Foreign body in the eye
- Sudden onset of double vision
- Eye infections
- Minor eye injuries
- Emergency contact lens problems
Patients can access the CUES service directly by contacting our practice, through NHS 111, or via referral from their GP. This NHS-funded service is free of charge, providing fast, local care for urgent eye problems and helping avoid unnecessary A&E visits. Please note, CUES does not replace emergency care; for severe eye injuries or sudden complete loss of vision, seek immediate help at A&E or an urgent care centre.
