What causes sudden blurred vision in one eye?Quote:

Eye herpes :-(
Seriously, speaking as someone who recently suffered eye problems (injected in the eyeball and didn't even flinch - just saying) don't waste your time going to your GP. They know fūck all about eyes and will simply tell you to see an opthalmologist. So just try and get an emergency appointment at Vision Express in the Nugent as your first point of call.Quote:

It could also be a tumor pressing on his optic nerve.Quote:

:-\
Hospital later that evening.
One was a trip finger. She recommended waiting until it went away. 3 years later or so I still have it. The second was to get a referral for a hernia which was subsequently operated on. Can't remember the third.Quote:

That's not weird, is it?
It’s a bit weird, yes. Also impractical. When I had my nut cancer, the GU specialist was a lady, so my choices were be treated by a lady or not to get treated. At that stage, I had better things to worry about than a strange lady touching my winkle.Quote:

Oh, they love it when you rock up with an actual medical issue. It makes them feel like actual doctors rather than the glorified glasses salesmen they actually are.Quote:

Today I wander in and explain my plight, get dealt with like an Ayrab in Harley Street, examinations, eyedrops, bottle of gear to take away, referral letter just in case - and no charge. Gratis and for nothing.Quote:
