High levels of satisfaction with primary eye care in the UK<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The General Optical Council (GOC) has published its 2022 public perceptions research, again providing strong evidence that public satisfaction with primary eye care remains high. This year reporting that \u201c94% of respondents who had had a sight test\/eye test in the last two years\u201d were satisfied with their last visit to an optician\/optometrist. 87% of respondents also said they were satisfied with the protections to protect them from coronavirus during their last optician visit.<\/p>\n

In more positive news, more people than ever reported they would see their optician\/optometrist practice first if they woke up with an eye problem. The increase continues a trend seen in GOC surveys over time, with more patients changing their behaviour and seeking help from primary eye care rather than a GP or hospital.<\/p>\n

The research however highlights regional differences, with people more likely to visit an optician\/optometrist practice first if they live in Scotland (51%), Northern Ireland (45%) or Wales (42%) compared to England (27%). The trend is expected given the range of extended services that the NHS has commissioned in Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales, which have been in place longer than in England.<\/p>\n

Almost half of the survey respondents also said they would consider undertaking their sight test or eye examination remotely.<\/p>\n
