Amazing Treatment

Went for my injections on Thursday. Was in waiting area of theatre explaining my rapidly deteriorating vision concerns to the nurse. He asked me if I’d like to speak to the doctor when she walked in. She immediately arranged for me to be scanned then she examined me, said I had cataracts got me assessed and eyes measured and put me on the waiting list. Extremely kind and efficient and I feel I was in right place at right time for once. Then to cap it all I had my favourite injector and had no pain whatsoever. Should’ve bought a lottery ticket!

Thanks - lovely to read good news, Stay safe,John.

Great news. Must have put your mind at rest. Hope you get cataracts sorted asap, my hubby is on wait list for his too and currently not able to drive because of them - it might be a while of course as there'll be a big queue (even private hospitals near me cant help as they've been commandeered by nhs for other patients moved out for safety and then are expecting to have their own op lists used for clearing nhs backlog).

Hope you get a good result with the inj x

Thus is such good news! Would like to have my cateracts done but my case is Way tooooo complicated. I had my injection on Thursday and for last two times have been given antibiotics eye drops for 4 days after.
