Convenience and flexibility

Until recently patients needed to visit GPs in order to obtain prescriptions for eye-related medications. This meant busy waiting rooms and strain on the system. Now, with the ability to independently prescribe, Munro Optometrists can ensure a high quality of care with prescriptions direct from our optometrists.
