Just had my annual check up results in 2 - 4 weeks.

The eye drops same as ever, but this year they seem to have affected me more/worse than ever?? maybe I let more of them go into my eyes than before, or does everything just get worse as the years plod on? Wore sunglasses after and about 3 hours later I'm okay but took a while!
 
I've had times when the drops have been worse than others Rossi, I reckon it's down to how much they squirt in rather than anything progressive. Hope the results are good! 🙂 I've got mine next week, but since I have to go to the eye hospital and see a consultant I get the verdict on the spot. Never something I look forward to! 😱
 
Good luck with that Rossi.

I had my latest eye test a few weeks ago now. Ended up having to go to Amersham because I didn't notice that it wasn't Burnham (my usual testing place)! 🙄

Anyway, I received another all clear. I hope you do too.

Andy 🙂
 
Must be the season for eye tests - I've got mine later today as well.
 
For some reason, the consultant doing the eye check decided I had naturally large pupils today and decided not to give me the drops. I'm definitely not going to complain and he was happy with the pictures.

It was a different person from last year, but apparently the clinic has been specially set up for eye screening so hopefully it will be the same next year. It seems everyone in my area is going to be going to this clinic.

Not the nicest part of town to have to visit and I could of done with a map to find them.
 
Glad to hear it went well Mark, and that you weren't staggering around all blurry-eyed afterwards!
 
Sssshh 🙂 The appointment was partially in works time but I had told my manager that I wouldn't go back to work afterwards as I "wouldn't be able to focus on the screen".

Oh well, how was I to know it would take 15 minutes instead of 45 minutes 🙄

I'm sure actually he won't be worried - it was on a Friday afternoon after all! :D
