Yes, they will be busy but to be honest, I still think you should ring them if your sight has deteriorated. If you leave it, it may take longer to put right. Let us know how you get on. Good luck.

Good for you.

Definitely ring. As springcross says, need to not make things worse longer term.

Anyway, maybe the clinics aren't quite so busy as they've reduced the number of appts per day? Staff who might have been running review days will probably be free to man the phones.

Best wishes going forwards x

I surely hope you hear soon, especially since you are experiencing changes. I would recommend calling asap on that account. Let us know.
