Oh 'eck, I've only just looked at my ds's instructions for eye drops that I've got to put into his eyes for his refraction clinic appt tomorrow and realised that I've made a bit of a cock-up, and I'm now contemplating on whether to cancel.
Not only has he been given the eye drops that dilute the pupils, but also noticed that he's also been given some eye drops with the instructions that he takes it first. It's called Proxymetacaine and after reading up it's an anaesthetic, but I have no idea how quick it takes effect, anybody have any idea how much time I should leave it to put in the other drops? I'm sure he wasn't given this last time he had this test.
Also, and now I feel embarrased, it states clearly that both eye drops need to have been kept in the fridge, but after the appt I just kept it in a 'safe place' and didn't give it another thought. Anybody know why it needs to be kept in the fridge? Should I not give it now, it's totally sealed up.
Typically I've left it all to the last minute.
