Hi
I left home at 7.00am this morning to get the train to London Paddington as today is my yearly eye hospital check up at the Western Eye Hospital nr Paddington. The train is absolutely crammed and I have someone sat next to me that really does need a bath (sorry had to be said). The train journey is fairly quick so I should arrive by 8.30am as the train goes direct.
My so called appointment is 9.10am but I could almost guarantee they will be running late.
Firstly I see a nurse who asks about my general health then checks my vision as would an optician. Next I have drops in the eye to dilate the pupil for the photographer to take a picture of the back of my eyes. Finally I see the Consultant who has a look at the pictures and my eyes to determine if they are ok or not – panic !!
Hopefully everything is ok as I have already had two Vitrectomy operations and 10,000 laser burns in each eye to treat Pre Proliferative Retinopathy . So I have basically had all the treatment possible but my eyes have been stable now for probably 5+ years apart from the operation side affects.
I will of course let you know how I get on and would really appreciate your experiences regarding eye problems.
Bye for now.

Hi all
So good news for me as I have just got the all clear for another 6 months which is such a relief as I worry so much about my eyes.
I met a nice Consultant and had an eye scan which I have not had before which was of course painless and enabled the Consultant to check numerous things with my eyes.
Has anyone else had Diabetes eye laser treatment or a Vitrectomy as I have not spoken with anyone with eye problems before, I have virtually zero night vision which is a nightmare and prevents me from driving especially in the winter.
Take care
Andrew
