Hello. If you are still getting nowhere trying to get the eye secretary, ask to be put through to the nurse in the pre-assessment unit. It does need to be checked whether your drops should or shouldn't be put in, as eye specialists can have different preferences and as already mentioned it may depend on what time of day you are having your procedure.
