Eye Been to the Doctors
Well as some of you may have remembered I had an eye appointment yesterday. Ah yes see you remember now don't you, god you people are fickle you only care about me while your reading my blog but once your done it's on to the next and your awwwwing over sweet pictures of kittens, but I dye cress.
I turned up nicely and on time for my appointment at 11.45am and promptly waited for a good 15 minutes or so until someone took in into a treatment room and made me read some wall charts1. Then asked me some boring questions about if I was allergic to things and stuff. He then pored some drops into my eyes. When I enquired what they were for he told me that it was so my Iris wouldn't close up when lights are shined into my eyes so the doctor could have a look into my eye2. He informed me that lights would be very bright because of this and it would be best if I didn't look at any lights.
I then have to sit and wait in the waiting area for about 20 minutes while the eye drops kick in. About a hour and a half later I finally get into see the doctor who proceeds to shine increasingly brighter lights into my eyes humms and arrrs a bit then tells me that I need to go and see her at a later date up at the hospital as they actually don't have the equipment to deal with my condition at this site. So no I have to wait another month or so, although I get the joy of going to another opticians to see if my eyes are suitable for "hard" contact lenses.
Oh Joy of joys.
1. I don't know why he didn't read them himself, he was closer after all. Just lazy I guess.
2. He also said into my brain, but I think he was probably telling porky pies about that.
