Hi Foks
Just got back from Specsavers, GP advised me to see them regarding blurred vision and blind spots.
After initial filed tests i was ushered in to speak to Optician about results.
The news was good and bad,Good in the fact my eyes and optic nerves were doing fine for someone my age.
Blind spots in Opticians opinion are vision migraine.
When it came to the blurred vision she was really upset with me. i saw her 14 months ago where she diagnosed me with Dry Eye Syndrome.She wrote a precription back then to take 4 drops a day.She also sent a letter to GP stating the drops were to be put on repeat prescription as i have to take them for rest of life kind of thing.
GP signed off for a months supply and that was the end of the drops. I thought it was a month thing and thus just carried on with life and blurred vision.
Optician will have told me i would imagine that it was a medication for life, but in my defence i was still battling with after effects and confusion.
Optician once again wrote a letter (email) to GP while i was sat there and stated i should never have been taken off the drops.told me to check with NHS record as well the medication had been put on repeat.
14 months trying to deal with vision problems that were partially my fault.
What a muppet.
Fingers crossed things will improve over the next few months.
No fool like a old fool

Hi @Gravel I have eye-drops- not due to stroke but due to a workplace injury ( a kid threw chemicals in my face-all good now) and frequently have to call or drop into the GP’s. These are on repeat due to dry eyes too.
My inital treatment was steroids and antibiotics post injury the consultant had added a moisturising drop but hospital pharmacy missed this and had constant migraine for a month as it seems the eye surface tightened with the other two- it really stung too one day of moisturising drops and it was bliss.
Hi jbob
I hope the kid was punished.
So glad you got sorted.Seems admin mistakes are rife in todays NHS.
Got to admit im 50 percent to blame for my problem.
Part of the tests today involved the drops to dilate the eyes, that stung a little, Worsed bit came when i pottered outside. Really bright sunlight and i couldnt see properly because the pupils are dilated
The employer was ultimately responsible so they paid in full, found a better job and didn’t look back.
Post incident 6 hours of being flushed with saline drops over a sink, backache , neckache and eyes that were red raw more drops added than I care to remember but looked like the joker from Batman in the end. Got the all clear at 3am drove home stopped at motorway services for fuel and the staff were in awe of my red eyes with blue and orange running mascarra effect. Should’ve took a selfie that day.
On one occasion for hospital visit reception asked normal questions, date of birth etc. Then what do i identify as ?. I replied BATMAN .Quite a few folk waiting burst out laughing.
