Welsh Eye Care Initiative (WECI)

The Welsh Eye Care Initiative (WECI) is unique to Wales and aims to detect eye problems in susceptible individuals, to enable early assessment of acute eyesight problems and to provide a low vision service that is accessible for all.  The fee for an Eye Health Examination or a PEARS examination is £40 and the fee for a low vision assessment is £67.

In the PDF documents at the bottom of the page, you will find information for optometrists and the public, which will explain the scheme further.
