Emergency Eyecare in Buckley
If you notice a sudden change in your vision or experience worrying symptoms with your eyes, urgent attention matters. At Buckley Eyecare, we provide NHS emergency eyecare so you can be seen quickly by our skilled team, without the need to go to A&E.
Urgent Eye Care When You Need It Most
Sudden eye problems can be unsettling, and in many cases prompt assessment makes all the difference. As part of the Wales General Ophthalmic Services (WGOS Level 2) WGOS 2 – Including Examinations for Urgent Eye Problems - NHS Wales, we offer urgent eye examinations for patients with acute eye issues that need immediate attention. This service is funded by NHS Wales and free at the point of delivery.
You do not need to visit a hospital straight away. If you are worried about your eyes, you can contact us directly. We will listen to your symptoms and arrange an appointment based on urgency.

What Counts as an Urgent Eye Concern?
We are here for patients experiencing:
- Red or painful eyes
- Sudden changes or loss of vision
- Flashing lights or floaters in your vision
- Foreign body sensation in the eye
- New onset double vision
These are examples of acute eye problems that benefit from prompt assessment. Our team will assess your condition, determine the best course of care and refer you on within the NHS if required.
