Question about consultants and pip

[Jones7777]

Hi all,

I’ve only had glaucoma for 3 years or so but haven’t had a great experience so far.

As with most people waiting times at my local clinic are chronic and the care hasn’t been great either. My vision was deteriorating for 18 months with treatment, was stable for about 6 months but now seems to be deteriorating again.

I’ve paid for a private consultation at the beginning of the year and got referred back to the NHS but the consultants had a differing opinion on how treatment should proceed. I would have rather stayed private but didn’t have the money unfortunately. Has anyone else been in the situation where consultants have had different opinions and what happened?

I’m not even 50 yet and have lost 50% of my vision.

Also does anyone know anything about pip and is it with going through the process to apply for it?

thank you all,

Jones x
