Hi posted before about my dd having episodes of double vision. Took her to optician who found no issue and said she has 20/20 vision. Took her to gp who said he would refer her to the eye clinic. That was about 2 weeks ago, been waiting anxiously for her appointment to come through and it did this morning but the appointment was for yesterday! Don't know how that's happened but gave them a call and they have now given us an appointment for 14th of June.
On the letter I received today it's says she has to see the orhoptist first and then she has to see the opthalmologist. I don't understand why this is and while I'm happy that she has an appointment I'm very nervous and worried.
I have health anxiety and I'm in a really bad place right now, been signed off from work and finding it hard to eat so been losing a lot of weight. I know this is pathetic but because of the anxiety I always imagine the worst case scenario and torture myself with horrific thoughts. I have had cbt in the past and am using what I'be learned but this is tough!
Anyway, could anyone with any knowledge about eye clinics tell me why she has to see the opthalmologist after seeing the orthoptist? Is this normal practise? Got to keep it together for my dcs.
Tia for any replies.
