Joseph has taken time to specialise in this service to provide emergency eye-care. in the community.
BMECS is a service set up by NHS Bromley Clinical Commissioning Group for patients who are registered with a Bromley GP, to access an accredited local optometrist if they experience a medical eye condition. If you are not registered with a GP in Bexley Bromley or Greenwich, we are still able to see you for a private emergency appointment.
HOW DO I ACCESS BMECS?
You do not need to be referred for a MECS appointment.
You can 'self refer'.
MECS appointments cover the majority of eye problems. Please contact us to discuss your symptoms, and we can advise you on how urgently you need to be seen.
