I have an appointment now to see the consultant. On the 4th of November.

I\’m hoping now that my appointment for my ERG which was said would be in Huddersfield, will come before I go.

I was told I was seeing him around Christmas, so I\’m trying not to worry.

It is what it is ☺

Snellen scale chart on clipboard

This is a visual acuity conversion chart as some countries and hospitals within those countries diagnose with different charts.

In my letter for example I am 6/24 in the right eye without pinhole glasses.

This equates to 20/80, which I personally understand better.
