NHS Eye Problems – When to Seek Help
Common NHS Eye Problems
The NHS highlights a wide range of eye conditions. Some are minor and temporary, while others need urgent attention: blurred vision, sudden vision loss, flashes and floaters, pain or redness, and double vision. For further detail on eye tests and early diagnosis, visit our Eye Test Newcastle page.
NHS Choices for Eye Problems
If you’re unsure where to start, the NHS advises: book an appointment with an optician in Newcastle upon Tyne for non-urgent vision checks, use NHS 111 if unsure, and go to A&E for emergencies. At Northern Optical Company, we carry out NHS eye tests and can refer you when required.
Diagnosis and Support
Our experienced optometrists use advanced 3D OCT scanners to detect glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy early. Learn more in our Eye Problems: Doctor or Optician UK page.
