Waited three months for this appointment. Besides the feeling of a could not care less attitude and doctor arriving back from lunch late for my appointment it was a quick look at my eye then telling me I had dry eyes which I already knew. My issue was a redness and soreness in the corner of the eye and I asked what this was and what was causing it, could they look again, they did not look saying it was my dry eyes. Told me the ointments to get and off I went. Asked about a follow up, they said I would be contacted. No contact to date. Made an appointment with the optometrist to check my eyesight out and more so, to check out the soreness / redness in the corner of my eye as I felt I was not getting anywhere with nhs, plus the problem eye was getting worse.
Straight away they could see the problem a spk. Basically a scar on the Cornea from a past injury that was slightly infected. Purchased Medication suggested and hopefully it will be cleared up within three months. If not come back in to see them again, but let them know the outcome. After a couple of days the eye was feeling less angry using the antibiotics. Time will now tell. Not that happy with you nhs. Possible doctors need their diagnosis track record looked at to see how successful they have been.
