Emergency Eye Care

Have you got a sudden problem with your eye?
We can see you promptly and arrange the best treatment required

The NI PEARS service is aimed at patients with sudden onset eye conditions such as:
  • Red eye(s)
  • Significant pain and/or discomfort in the eyes, around the eye area
  • Sudden reduction in vision in one or both eyes
  • Recent onset or sudden increase of flashes and/or floaters in one or both eyes
  • Suspected minor foreign body in the eye.

Eyeworld are Proud Providers of the NI PEARS Scheme.

The Northern Ireland Primary Eyecare Assessment and Referral Service (NI PEARS), allows patients to make an appointment with an accredited optometrist of their choice for assessment in the event of a sudden eye problem.

If you are eligible an appointment will be offered within 48 hours by the Optometrist to have the condition assessed and, where appropriate, treated (at no cost) through Health and Social Care (HSC).

Patients must be registered with a GP in Northern Ireland and must remember to bring along their Health & Care number which is on their medical card.

How do I make an Appointment for an NIPEARS Assessment?

Simply call us on 028 9030 0022 and we will be happy to make an appointment for assessment by one of our Optometrists.

Most conditions are managed entirely in practice, however on occasion, for more serious eye conditions we may refer you to our colleagues within the Hospital Eye Service.
