Hi folks,

I attended my routine follow up appointment on Tuesday. I spoke to my consultant about my ptosis. As a result of our conversation I have been referred to the oculoplastics team to get my eyelid fixed.

I attended my routine outpatient appointment yesterday and seen another doctor who is not the consultant and he says that they will look at fitting me with glasses in 6 weeks or so. My question I guess is, is this normal ? I was under the impress...
