Review titled I received a report about eye test in Dec 2023 yesterday
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by David John Brannock - Posted on 16 April 2024
I was contacted by my local surgery to say that they can add the suggested drops to my prescription. I have never personally received the report. I was called by the ophthalmologist today prompted by the local surgery to explain the additional drops but said the communication was your problem not his! I have called tried to enter your email system and completely failed to make contact with anything. Please establish contact by email or 01691 662 976. David Brannock

Review titled Double bookings.

All patients today were double booked. So inevitably had to wait quite a while for my appointment. Staff were very apologetic. The waiting room was constantly busy.

Review titled Excellent treatment
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Glenis Stott - Posted on 04 April 2024
I was very concerned that I had developed Glaucoma and CHEC reception arranged for me to see the doctor straight after my glaucoma check. This is not normal practice. The technician doing the test explained what she was doing throughout and made sure that I knew what was going on. She was very patient with me. After the tests I waited in the waiting room for a few minutes and then I saw the doctor. He examined my eyes and looked at the test results. He told me that it was not Glaucoma but I had dry eyes which was causing my symptoms. He gave me some drops to use and explained how to use them. He ensured that I understood what he was saying and reassured me that it was nothing to worry about. I am very thankful for CHEC. I have been going for several years.

Review titled wonderful service
Rated 5 stars out of 5

Really great service. Used them before. I was surprised that my optician tried to send me to another place. I have no idea why. My referral then went to the referral centre who I had to push to send me here. It was worth me pushing. Great result. so pleased. Thanks CHEC

Review titled No Smartphone, No Appointment
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 07 May 2024
Everything seems to be based around smartphones. If you don't have an up to date smartphone with a mobile data plan things become very difficult. Weblinks to make appointment are only sent by text, meaning you have to try and transcribe complicated URLs into a web browser. If you don't do this within a certain number of days you are essentially thrown out of the system and can no longer make an appointment. Given this is a service most likely used by the elderly and those with poor eyesight it is really not good enough. Before this CHEC system was introduced, one could visit the Eye Unit at the Hospital where there were much better facilities and large enough waiting areas instead on tiny cramped areas in a former shop where one sometimes has to wait outside on the street - not great in poor weather!

Dear Patient, Thank you for your review. We can confirm that when patients who have received a booking SMS are unable to do so for various reasons, they will receive a letter in the post providing details of how to book their appointment and our contact details. If a patient is still unable to make contact, a member of our team will call the patient. Our booking app was recently launched with the aim of providing patients more control over their appointments and to reduce waiting times. Our IT department are in the process of reviewing and updating our bookings app to further improve its functionality and accessibility, we have passed your comments through to them for consideration along with their updates. We wish to assure you that we expect high standard care to be provided for all our patients along with ease of access. Our patients are our utmost priority, and we value all feedback. Should you wish to discuss any concerns further or arrange your appointment please email us on customerservices@communityeyecare.org.uk or call on 0344 264 4160. Best wishes CHEC

Review titled Very good hospital and staff.
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by John Perrett - Posted on 12 April 2024
Checking in exactly two days after my cataract op. Vision from "new" eye about 90% as good as the other eye and getting better each day. No discomfort except a tiny bit of gritty feeling first thing in the morning. Almost enjoyed the whole experience. To my surprise, no pain at all during the op. Many thanks, surgeon and all the very pleasant (and attractive) staff.
