"What am I suppose to do?"

About: Leicester Royal Infirmary / Ophthalmology

(as the patient),

I lost sight in my right eye as Glaucoma was not diagnosed until it was too late despite going into Eye clinic twice with blurred vision and also seeing an Eye specialist at a Private Hospital.

In the left eye, Cataract has progressed since June but 2 appointments have been cancelled.

What am I suppose to do? I have no vision in my right eye and blurred vision in my left.
