LENS was implemented to allow patients with acute eye problems to be managed locally by Community Optometrists or referred appropriately to Secondary Care. LENS Optometrists have access to a range of medications, which can be provided free of charge to the patient, and the examination is also free through the General Ophthalmic Service. LENS Optometrists also have direct access to the Clinical Decision Unit at Hairmyres and can arrange for patients to be appropriately appointed to the Hospital Eye Service if necessary. The majority of Optometry practices in NHSL participate in LENS and will give your patients a suitable appointment to be seen by an Optometrist who can then manage their case, or will try to get the patient an appointment at another LENS practice.
LENS can provide the fastest, safest and most effective care pathway for patients with eye problems. Please see below for a list of East Kilbride Optometrists who participate in the LENS scheme.
