"Very satisfactory op and trouble free"

About: Queen Margaret Hospital / Cataract Unit

(as the patient),

Very satisfactory op and trouble free, thanks to Dr Wilson and staff.

Follow up included Chloramphenicol drops which may have been in a badly manufactured container or may have been difficult because kept in freezer, but I found it very hard to squeeze drops out and they had no/little smarting effect to tell me they had arrived in the right place. Unlike the Maxidex that was easy to use and which gave a slight sting.

In hindsight, suspect I missed the first two days of Chloramphenicol because I did not realise the failure to arrive on the eye and mistook the natural soreness for success.
