"Vision problems due to acute high pressure in..."

About: The Great Western Hospital / Ophthalmology

I had to visit the A&E dept on the 11.1.18 due to a worsening vision problem, I had blurred & foggy vision and was seeing large coloured halos around bright lights.

I was triaged and checked to make sure I wasn't having a stroke etc.

I had to wait quite some time to be processed.

(I totally understand the staff are over worked and under staffed in these difficult times of uncontrolled EU migration & health tourism in my opinion)

When I eventually arrived at the Ophthalmology dept I was very impressed with the skills and professional conduct of the staff as they had quickly discovered a serious problem and rapidly worked to sort it out, within an hour my sight was almost back to normal & further eye damage avoided.

I have nothing but praise for them.

Thank you so much.
