Fao Mr Sqad

[SparklyKid]

Don't normally do these but, here goes.

Fell down two steps 24th June, landed on my face and my glasses smacked into my face causing bruising around my left eye socket.

My right eye is perfect but my left eye is not focusing. Had two cataracts a couple of years ago, both eyes get the same brightness.

If I press down on my left eyeball I can focus.

Will see optician when they reopen.

I would have thought that any swelling in my eyeball would have settled by now.

[SparklyKid]

Are you there Mr Sqad.

[bednobs]

opticians are open now sk

[SparklyKid]

Hi bednobs. mine open on Monday 27th.

[bednobs]

could you go to a different one?

[Sqad]

Hi! Sparkly.
Early days yet for the swelling to settle which may be the problem and is no big deal.
However when you had your cataracts done, didnyou have an intraocular lens inserted?
Also were you examined by medic after you had fallen?
I would be interested to get the comments from your Optician.

[SparklyKid]

Got an appointment for 26th August but I prefer my usual one, I shall ring them on Monday.

The one for August is in Cleveleys but my usual one is in Blackpool.

[SparklyKid]

Hi Sqad, good to hear from you. Both eyes had cataracts a couple of years ago, huge difference in brightness.

My focus gets better later in the day, thanks for your input, I shall certainly report back after optician examines my eye, thanks.

[SparklyKid]

The cataracts were very painless, I think they just scrape away the debris and put a bit of plastic in. The amazing thing was that a grey sky turned blue and what I thought was yellow paint turned brilliant white. Both eyes still see brightness, but the left eye focus is not very good.

[Sqad]

Ah! Then you did have an intra occular lens inserted and the fall may have dislodged it a fraction. Still no big deal but your Optician will coment further.

I saw my optician on Monday.

I walked past my usual optician's today. They already had a poster asking folk to wear the paranoia covering.
