We are still Open for Appoinments
It’s Business as (new) Normal
At Anne Gill Eyecare we are classed as an Essential Service. We are therefore open as normal to provide urgent and regular eyecare.
Looking after the health of your eyes is of course essential, and you should continue to book and keep regular appointments, (if it’s safe for you to do so), and contact us if you have any concerns about your eyes.
We have of course applied strict hygiene standards, social distancing procedures and use a wide selection of PPE.
Our short video, right, shows how we are keeping visits safe for you and our staff.
Let’s see the world again, safely.
