The new Plymouth based Minor Eye Conditions Service (MECS) provided by local optician practices went live on 1 October 2018. This service provides urgent eye assessments for patients complaining of recent/sudden onset of specific minor eye conditions. The service provides care closer to home, avoiding a trip to the hospital for patients who do not require emergency eye care, but need to be seen by an accredited eye care practitioner.
