"Keeping us see and be living independently"

Visited a few times last 2 years, once as emergency, for my wife’s acute serious inflammation from inside the eye, probably due to unknown immune system response.

It was over the new years. Along the process, the triage or so, was very professional.

Many hours same day, the inflammation was so serious, but well monitored every hour or so, finally needle injection needed into the eye.

The nurse, staff, and two female doctors on duty, worked in harmony.

Long story short. My wife’s eyes could still see, and she now could work as a volunteer in a local primary school, enjoying her work to contribute to local community and future generations.

For me, with early stage of Glaucoma, after 2 years since diagnosed, via local optometrist double checks across weeks before referring to the Eyes Pavilion with Dr Bennet et al to professionally help. The worsening was stopped, along with my own habit changes for non-wheat diet, and exercises for better body circulation in cold wet winters, the eye pressure got stabilised and improved to nearly normal.

Another occasion was a sudden incident of the eyes turned totally red, also triage process was good, the local optometrist after as asking a few sensible questions on phone, such as if I felt any pain in my eye, avoiding me from over burdening the resources downstream, as no need for me to go emergency.

Just a story to thank all involved in this professional services, keeping the Scotland and UK well with the right amount of resources.
