Visitors will also include representatives from The Eye Therapy Trust who has donated over £250,000 over the past few years to the department.
Quresh Mohamed: “This is an exciting opportunity to share what we do, and for local residents to see clinics, talk to staff and see the equipment and facilities we have available for patients in Gloucestershire”
