Minor Eye Conditions Service

The MECS enhanced service (Minor Eye Conditions Service) was launched under the previous moniker of PEARS in July 2013.  The name change occurred on 1st April 2019.  The scheme is accessible to all patients with a registered GP in Shropshire or Telford & Wrekin.  It covers the investigation of acute onset symptoms such as flashing lights and floaters, watery eyes, red eyes and headaches etc.

All Wet AMD referrals following a MECS are required to be emailed to SATH Fast Track with attached OCT scans if possible. Going forward following the role out of EeRS, these should be sent via Cinapsis EeRS portal
