I have this eye condition (not telling!) I've had loads of laser treatment and have an annual check. Today's the day and I get a bit anxious plus I'll have spooky eyes all evening!

wish me luck?

learn it!

do they put the fluorescent eye drops in? Or the ones that make your pupils dilate? The worst one is where they blow a puff of air at your eyeball to test for glaucoma. Horrid, horrid.

They are yeuk. I am holding your hand via cyberspace m'dear.

dilate the pupils ginge!
The glaucoma test is nothing to me! I don't have that, my dad has it but my consultant says he doesn't think I will get that as the pressure behind my eyes is low - thats one tick in the box!

I don't mind the examination its what he says after it that worries me!

Oh, missed this - hope it went well, JT and everything was OK with your sparkly balls

You're probably not anywhere near a PC tonight if you have dilated pupils - eek!

JoolsToo · 20/10/2005 17:04

thanks each!

everything is as it was 12 months ago - no further deterioration to my retinas [phew!!!] no laser required - I just have to watch out for things happening.

I feel a lot better now

Brilliant, JT

JoolsToo · 20/10/2005 21:38

thanks hunker

I've worried and worried since I had to have more laser early last year (i have an over-active imagination at the best of times!) - but after yesterday I'm feeling much more positive!

I did come back to this thread to check earlier today, and came back tonight to bump it - and found your update!

I'm a worrier too - I know what that's like! Very glad everything's OK
