Opticians
We would recommend you make your optician the first port of call for any eye problems, including any eye emergencies.
If you are a UK resident, you can get a free NHS eye examination in Scotland.
This is not just to test your sight – it’s a thorough examination to:
- check the health of your eyes
- find any eye problems before they become more serious
- look for signs of other health problems
Just call your local optician to make an appointment.
