Someone switch off the lights....
Dear all aircrew contact lens wearers,
I heard there was a thread running on pprune and I wanted to add a few comments.
Firstly, I am sorry for the inconvenience this has and is causing many of you. As you might have guessed, this was out of my control, and I did my best over the last few months to maintain the service.
Higher powers decided that a dedicated contact lens service was no longer justified at RAF Cranwell, and that this service would be better placed at RCDM in Birmingham.
Jo and I did our best to inform as many patients as possible of the changes, but with limited resources this was never going to be easy! So apologies to all of you who have only just become aware of the situation.
The RAF Cranwell optometry clinic existed to provide a professional, thorough, product-independent service, with out-reach clinics to make the facility as accessible as possible. I hope we achieved that.
I thoroughly enjoyed meeting all of you and hope the new service in Birmingham meets your expectations.
Kind regards
Chetna
