Will opticians close?

[OublietteBravo]

I’ve been WFH since March, and I’m spending many more hours staring at a screen than I used to. I really think I need a new prescription. My appointment is on 9 November. Is there any chance of it going ahead?

[BettyOBarley]

I think they'll be classed as medical services and stay open

Hiya I work in an opticians and we have been informed we are staying open and taking routine eye appointments

Mines on the tenth and I bloody hope so, my eyesight has nose dived

Oh good, because I’ve been putting off spending out on new glasses, but I really do need to! Mine have had it!

[DominaShantotto]

Hopefully not - my eyesight is buggered, my glasses lenses are scratched to fook but I need to wait till month end to be able to afford new specs!

I hope they stay open, 2 DC awaiting new glasses.

It will more than likely be emergency appointments only (as first lockdown). I'm an optician, so will find out for sure next week
