Hi everyone, thanks so much for all your support over the last few weeks when I've been so scared about my eyes. Went to appt on Tue and had the drops and then a pressure test. A little while later I saw the consultant who had a good look in my eyes and took my general medical history (that took a while!). She said I definitely needed treatment to my left eye or I was going to end up with a big blank hole in my vision. Then she said that she had a cancellation an hour later and if I wanted to go back then, I could get it done that day!
I jumped at the chance - I hate waiting and worrying and always prefer to just get it done if possible.
The lasering was totally pain free, the worst bit for me was when they put a special lens in your eye but that's only because I'm twitchy about eyes!
It was all over in about 10 minutes and I could go home. Went back to my mum and dads rather than back to an empty house (needed tea and sympathy!) and apart from the expected blurred vison and a sore eye for about 2 hours I had no problem at all!
Can't believe it's over!! Have to go back in 4 months for a review.
Thanks again everyone, you've been great!
