ETHICAL APPROVAL AND CONSENT TO PARTICIPATE/PUBLISH: This evaluation utilised routinely collected, anonymised information held by Primary Eyecare Services.

The project was registered as an audit within MREH (reference number 12349) and AQ, the primary researcher, held a contemporaneous honorary contract while working under the supervision of the authors. Patients consented to participate in PREM outcomes. As data was all anonymised and collected for auditing and service evaluation, consent to participate and to publish was considered non-applicable.
