Thank you for asking Nom, but it was nearly two years ago now when I had the problem, so I am trying to think back.
Yes, I eventually got the hospital appointment ages later.
Nice chap at the hospital he was. He checked my eyes thoroughly, checked my previous optical prescription I took with me and his verdict was the blasted opticians had made up my glasses with too strong lenses!
These had been made at a well-known 'chain store' optician.
He did say I had the start of a cataract in one eye only, but it was very minimal.
After that I decided to find a different opticians, and you'll never believe this . . . . the same thing happened again!!
They flogged me glasses I couldn't focus in properly.
I went back and complained and in all fairness, they changed the lense, which begged thequestion why would they change it if they were sure they had been right?
The second one wasn't much clearer.
I am my wits end with these high street opticians.
Glasses are not cheap and being as I can't get on with bi-foculs, I have to have separate pairs made for reading, driving, and my prescription sun glasses.
I now go to a small shop, non chain-store type, and finally got fixed up properly. However, the old chap who owned it has just retired and two ladies have taken over.
I have an appointment for a check up next week actually, so will see what the new people are like, hope they are as thorough as the previous man.
