"Uvetitis treatment"

About: Royal Bolton Hospital / Ophthalmology

I woke up 8 November with a sore red eye, went to pharmacy advised i had conjuctivitis.

Was given drops, this did not get any better so went to RBH A+E first thing 11 November. After triage and consultation with an AP was advised to come back that day to see the On Call Opthamologist. The lady i saw was lovely and put me at ease, after a thorough check up she said she thought i had a severe eye infection and gave me 2 sets of drops, she told me she would make me a follow up appointment in the Eye Clinic.

Today i have been to that appointment.

I was well looked after by all staff and was seen by the Opthamologist. He immediately put me at ease, there was a student with him, that was no problem.

He gave me a thorough check up, explaining each step. He advised me i needed no further treatment, He said if there was a recurrence to make an appointment with him via his secretary. Eyes are very precious, i went in the Eye Clinic this morning very worried, but came out very happy..

Thank you :) :) :)
