A company established by Croydon LOC has launched a community ophthalmology service following a successful competitive tendering process put together with the help of the LOC Support Unit (LOCSU). It is believed that this is the first service of its kind in the country to make extensive use of optical practices which will act as the core of the service.
The aim of the service, provided by the new London-based company, Complete Ophthalmic Services CIC, is to provide patients with recently occurring eye conditions with treatment closer to home, refine cataract and glaucoma referrals, and generally reduce the number of patients needing to attend secondary care.
