I gave the eye clinic a phone and asked if I could have an appointment because I am worried about my vision. Explained that I had seen my optician and he has prescribed new glasses which were fine at the time (month ago) but I was again experiencing difficulties. I got told the consultant is fully booked !!!! That is a no then. Advised to go back to my optician who will refer me or my GP. Understand that they are really busy but fed up. :cry: Thanks for the feedback and advice though, much appreciated.

Pam

In your place I'd go to my GP and ask for a referral; that would probably be the quickest way into the system.

All the best
