Anyone here an Opthalmologist
Discussion
It was picked up by me. I went out one evening, came home and went to bed then an hour or so later experienced what I thought was a migraine. It felt particularly bad but I assumed this was down to my drinking. I had sever eye/head pain, vomited felt rough as. Took an imigran injection and crashed out. Woke up the next morning with a large black spot in my vision in right eye (where pain was felt)
Called 111, they said a&e within the hour. Got down there was eventually (3hours later) seen and doc did nothing more than shine a light in my eye and said it was an aura. I told him it was a bleed but he wasn't having it and made an eye appt for me two days later.
I wasn't happy as I could tell it was a bleed by the way it was starting to disapate so booked in with an optician who dilated my eyes and diagnosed the haemorrhage.
I've now seen the hospital again and had a thorough exam and a scan of the eye. Looks like early onset normal tension glaucoma he said but needs to more tests in three weeks time but isn't ruling anything out.
