Hi everyone,

We're in uncertain times, and most people with glaucoma may find appointments or treatments are being delayed or cancelled. We're still here to help you look after your vision.

Our helpline is open from 9:30am to 5:00pm, Monday to Friday. If you have any questions or concerns related to your glaucoma (or other conditions such as dry eye), please get in touch. Call us on 01233 86 81 70 or email sightline@iga.org.uk. If you call out of hours, leave a message and our helpline advisers will be in touch.

And don't forget, your hospital eye services are still open. If you are concerned about your vision, do not suffer in silence. Contact your eye clinic or your consultant's secretary and let them know of your concerns. They should be able to arrange a phone consultation and give you more advice or support.

Thanks, and stay safe :)
