Welcome
Primary Eyecare Lancashire provides NHS funded eyecare services across Lancashire. The services are available from the majority of local opticians, from the smallest independent practice to the largest national chains.
It is important to iterate that all of these services are funded by the NHS locally. This includes the cost of all of the assessments you may require.
The services you can access depend on the area your GP is registered under (which CCG).
