I visited the emergency eye dept yesterday after feeling like I had a sharp foreign body in it. On arrival the screen said 2.5 hour wait so made myself comfortable. After about an hour I was seen & checked over, thankfully eye just scratched so left with antibiotic gel. The staff were very good. The problem?? Whilst waiting I was amongst people who had been sitting for over 2.5 hours & had no info on what was happening . I’m sure they couldn’t of been happy to see me in & out in an hour!!!! I guess it depends on the severity of your problem & which Doctor they need you to be seen by.
"Good experience"
