Known issues
Patients frequently experience long waiting times for ophthalmology appointments, often due to NHS resource constraints. To mitigate this, joining a cancellation list may help secure an earlier slot. Additionally, urgent referrals are prioritized. Some callers report difficulty reaching the office by phone, particularly during peak hours. To improve your chances of getting through, try calling during less busy times or explore alternative contact methods if available. Ensuring you have all necessary details ready can also expedite the process.
