Nearly 60% of glaucoma care within Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust is delivered by optometrists.

In our recent Special report Catherine Park, specialist optometrist at Manchester Royal Eye Hospital, told us “most patients will see an optometrist first when they are referred in for glaucoma from community optometrists – all the way up to performing laser and post-surgery care.”
