Went for the annual optician app today. Left eye now down to counting fingers. Right eye was 6/19 last year this year 6/30. Lady said come back in 2 years as already under 4 consultants at 2 different hospitals.

Hi tallyho

I am surprised your optician told you to come back in 2 years time. Even if you see several consultants for your eye condition, you should still be checked out every year at least to see if you need stronger glasses. 2 years is far too long.

Although that is a long time I have been told I can come back whenever I feel I need to. It’s just everything is so stable prescription wise and so she was trying to avoid an extra appointment. I go to low vision in 2 weeks and had a different opthoptic appointment today so I am being seen a lot.

Oh that does suck. Sending you a hug x
