After my visit to the hospital on Friday and realising how much my eyes have changed in a matter of 10 weeks. I went to the optician yesterday and my eyesight has now gone from a +2 to a -2 at the moment I am finding it so hard to even see peoples faces. I have no sight in my right eye so I really on my left eye so this change is so shocking for me. I work in a shopping centre and it’s so busy at the moment I’m finding it so stressful to get through the day. My pressure has stabilised at 7 so they is good news.Im getting new glasses with a higher prescription and im hoping this is going to help me.

Great that you went to Optician who has identified the changes I your eye sight. I have been lucky. Following my trab in June and many follow up visits to Machen Unit at Warwick hosp my vision is very good. Just have to wear prescription glasses and apply drops for dry eye. Good luck with your new glasses and hope you find they help you in your workplace too. Angela

Hi there. From what you have said it sounds like all you need is a change in prescription to correct the changes in your vision. Great news about your eye pressure. Hope you find that this helps you.
