"Glaucoma Concern; fears allayed"

My optician found elevated intraocular pressure. This was a concern given strong family history of glaucoma and a referral to Ophthalmology was requested via my GP

I was very pleased with the technical investigations (Visual field tests, OCT of optic nerve and fundus photography) undertaken by a variety of kind and caring Ophthalmic Imaging staff. They are the 'unsung heroes'

These were followed by an examination by DH Consultant Ophthalmologist who was most competent and with excellent 'bedside manner'.

I have nothing but praise for all the staff concerned at the Bolton Eye Unit on how effective and efficient the clinical management was and with dignity to the patient. All staff were kind and caring

I am now a 'glaucoma suspect' and will have further follow up in due course
