Eye Care Wales’ website provides
information about eye care services
and services for people with a visual
impairment. If you have an eye
problem that needs urgent attention,
contact an optometrist and ask for a
special eye examination under the
Primary Eyecare Acute Referral
Scheme (or PEARS for short). This is
free of charge. A list of participating
optometrists is available on the Eye
Care Wales website.
