Hello!
My name is Emma and my son Harry (13) had a hospital appointment yesterday after his usual optician noticed an ‘anomaly’ on a routine eye test at the end of last year. Because of Covid, Harry only just got this appointment at the hospital yesterday. The ophthalmologist said he thinks Harry has Keratoconus in his right eye but he has to go back within a month or two for further tests. Harry is very worried and anxious about this and we were wondering if anyone could give us any advice/supportive words/ideas for questions we should be asking at the next appointment? I’m pretty worried about everything too, and I feel so guilty that I didn’t push the hospital more to get him an earlier appointment- I feel so much time has been wasted where we could have been getting treatment and maybe this long wait has made his eye worse? Also, his left eye (the one without suspected Keratoconus) is his ‘bad eye’ sight wise but the right one (Keratoconus) is his good vision eye. Sorry for rambling on but I’m so worried. Any advice would be hugely appreciated. Thank you. Emma
