Support new models of enhanced primary
eye care services
We will:
• Improve patient access by supporting primary eye care providers to
expand the range of services they offer to meet patient needs.
• Call on the NHS to fund and commission enhanced services to
meet patient needs and to end unwarranted and unjustified
variation in access to vital eye care services.
Protect patient benefits and increase
patient education
We will:
• Champion patients’ rights to choose a provider and evidence-
based care for themselves and their families.
• Do all we can to protect patient access to affordable eyewear and
NHS support for visual correction for the most vulnerable and most
in need.
• Continue to work with charities and public health teams to ensure
the public understands the importance of eye examinations and
looking after their eyes.
• Continue to embrace equality, diversity and inclusion across the
sector, including for patients, eye care practitioners, ancillary
workers, students and trainees.
