Emergency Eye care
In this presentation I will discuss a range of eye conditions that might present in your practice that might require emergency or urgent care.
This will include conditions that can be sight or life threatening that require immediate specialist attention.
Also, common urgent and minor eye conditions, which although may be uncomfortable or distressing but can be managed safely outside of an emergency setting by appropriately trained healthcare professionals.
