If you have an eye condition, and you are not sure if you need to be seen by a doctor, or you do not wish to travel, Moorfields are now set up for video consultations.

You can read more here and request a session:

Helpful but not all of us are in London sadly

Moorfields is not exclusively London based and this is a video consultation too. You could also check what arrangements your eye hospital has for A&E during the current lockdown.

Thanks for the update, that's good to know. Anyone know if contact lens orders are unaffected out have things stalled?

The corneal filaments i have HAD to have removed every 1-3weeks for the past 5 months can'tbe seen on a video consult, nor can they be removed, thankfully im aware of our local eye casualtys response n how to get things seen to at this uncertain time

I am also blessed with a few friends n family whom are Optoms who are doing eye casualty work in general who all conclude video calls are a tick box they have to do but then they call in 9/10 cases in person hence a tick box procedure.

I missed this space cadet, how are you faring, is your treatment still continuing?

iv a shed load of drops, managed to avoid the hospital for a bit but the pain is still getting me down
