I’ve been to my appointment to see the eye specialist.
This was at my local Eye Centre.
The Doctor referred me back to Opmathology after I seemingly got lost in the system during Covid-19 after March 2020. I had my last round of tests just one week before lockdown here in the UK.
I had the usual eye test. I was the same as I was before. This is distance.
Right eye 3 lines down. Left eye 4 lines down.
This is why I don’t drive.
Then I had the eye drops. They dilute your pupils so the doctor can see into the eye much better than without.
I had photography taken of my eye and then saw the consultant.
He looked into my eyes with the prism light and magnifying glass equipment.
We spoke about the tests I had had all that time ago. He said that the large swelling had disappeared on my retina.
I didn’t realise I’d had any I told him.
I explained that I needed cane training due to the difficulties especially at night and also increased falling.
He didn’t seem to have had any of the results. Not even the random field test I’d had in late 2022 either.
So he agreed that we couldn’t go into any certification without a recent field test so he gave me a yellow sheet to hand in to have an appointment sent to me for 4 to 6 weeks time.
The previous doctor said I was partially sighted.
So just waiting on that now.
All in all the appointment and the staff were amazing as usual. I was out very quickly.
