Healthcare Assistant (Eye Day Bed Ward) - PCEU Windsor
Prince Charles Eye Unit
Welcome to Prince Charles Eye Unit in Windsor. We offer a range of ophthalmology services to help provide care closer to home to the population of Windsor and the surrounding area.
When you attend your appointment please bring all your current glasses with you and an up to date list of medication. As part of your care you may have eye drops instilled which will dilate your pupils resulting in you having blurred vision, this will affect your ability to drive home.
We are a training unit and care may be provided by a trainee.
