The CUES service will use the skills of practitioners to manage and prioritise patients presenting with a recent onset symptomatic or urgent eye condition and for advice to support self-management of less complex eye conditions.  An examination will provide a timely assessment of the needs of a patient presenting with an eye condition.  This will be undertaken by an accredited practitioner with suitably equipped premises who will manage the patient appropriately and safely.

IP Prescribing

IP Optometrists can prescribe certain medications for treatment of the eye or the structures around the eye in accordance with Lancashire and South Cumbria IP formulary, enabling them to manage a wider range of conditions.   We would expect patients to be directed to a pharmacy or alternative outlet to purchase OTC products (such as antihistamines, ocular lubricants, and analgesics) where available in line with the NHSE Policy.
