My Husband visited the emergency eye ward on 7/12/17 as it appeared his lens implant was moving. He was told there was a wobble but to return to see the consultant on Friday . He kept his appt on 08/12/17 and was told that yes his implant was actually coming away from its casing and that he required surgery. We were told that he would be called this week to be advised what could be done. its now Thursday 14/12/17 the condition is getting progressively worse. we have called the emergency eye unit 3 times and everytime we are told that they know nothing about it but would get back to him. I've called PALS and have been told that there turn around is 8 days. They have suggested we call 111 or go and sit in the emergency eye unit until someone sees us. my husband is going blind in one eye and no one seems to be bothered. His remaining eye he's had a cataract operation 2 detached retinas and he has a form of glaucoma, great. Id like to say a big thank you to the hospital and there staff for their care and attention to my husband. yes its tongue in cheek!!!!!
