Award-Winning Local Optician, Allegro Optical reflects on Lockdown eye-care as restrictions ease.

Local independent award-winning Optician, Allegro Optical, re-opened their doors for routine eye-care⁣ in mid-June. In the last few months, they have been providing a daily emergency service to assist key⁣ workers, vulnerable residents and anyone else that needed urgent support.⁣

Local Emergency Service

From late March 2020, despite the COVID-19 lockdown, Allegro Optical provided an emergency⁣ telephone line which clients could call to receive free specialist advice and if needed access urgent⁣ emergency eye-care.

The practices received a great many telephone calls from concerned residents⁣ who were worried about their vision. All callers received immediate advice and when necessary were⁣ referred to an emergency eye care centre or hospital.⁣

Home Delivery Hero’s

In addition to the telephone triage service, Allegro Optical also provided a home delivery service⁣ delivering many pairs of glasses to clients over the last few months.

They also hand-delivered contact⁣ lenses, solutions and pharmaceuticals to ensure all their clients and some new ones, whose previous⁣ opticians were closed, had all the eye-care products they needed during the lockdown.

Anyone⁣ reporting a broken frame was also supported with a collection, repair and return delivery service,⁣ provided by each practice.⁣

“The need for eye care doesn’t stop. In fact, it’s incredibly important that good eye health is⁣ maintained and that any changes are picked up as early as possible, to ensure the best possible⁣ outcomes,” said Sheryl Doe, Managing Director and Dispensing Optician. “We knew we had to continue⁣ to provide urgent care during the lockdown and ensure our patients had access to eyewear too. We⁣ are delighted to be welcoming clients back for routine eye care, albeit with a few changes to our usual⁣ service to ensure everyone’s safety.”⁣

Back In Business

Allegro Optical is once again open for routine eye care and they have some fabulous new offers⁣ available, and all their glasses are available with their two-year breakage cover and 25% off* Ts & Cs Apply.

They can also offer their state of the art 3D OCT eye scan. This means their optometrists can examine clients eyes in detail while maintaining social distancing.

With pre-appointment health screening, a one-person only policy, a one-way system in-store and the whole team wearing PPE you couldn’t be in safer hands.
