Thought I would share my fantastic service I had yesterday.
In Sunday night I started to get black dots and like little hairs floating a cross my vision in my right eye. I put it down to being tied and getting old !.
Went to work Monday and my eye was find but mention it in passing to a work colleague. She said her mother in law had that and I should see someone asap !. I did a quick check on Google and it said the same.
Phoned up my local vision Express who said phone Specsavers.
As I was in town I went to specsavers who couldn't do anything in their branch. They took my details and symptoms and promised to phone back before the end of the day.
I was offered a medical examination at 9:30 Tuesday ( yesterday ) which I took. The optician found a slight breed and rip in my retina. He phoned up the hospital who said if I could get to Ashford by 1pm ( an hours drive ) they could see me.
I got there before 1pm and was seen. They confirmed a slight bleed and tear in my retina. I was offered come back at 5:30pm and we can to a lazer surgery and repair the damage.
Went back for 5:30pm had a little wait than they carried out the laser surgery. All went well no real pain.
I just wanted to say what fantastic service I received from specsavers and the NHS. Thanks .
Also if you see and bright lights or dark spots or shapes in your eyes dont waste time. Get to see someone asap. It could become very serious very quickly.
