Hi. In 2016 i went for my routine eye appointment and was told that the pressure in the back of my eye was slightly raised and he would refer me to eye hospital. Well because of anxiety, when the appointment came not till January this year i cancelled it as was so scared. Then in july i started having floaters in my right eye this scared me so i went to opticians and had the drops in to numb the eye, the drops i was so scared of and reason why i cancelled eye appointment. She said eye was all good, did not say pressure was high but referred me anyway to hospital. Had appointment for January 2018, hospital rang to say had another clinic on did i want to go 2 weeks ago so i did. I have been told i have dry eyes, Blepharitis, posterior vitreous detachment, ocular hypertension. None of this was told me at appointment i was sent a letter with it all. Was scared when i read letter. My eyes have always been sensitive and have to be careful with make-up mostly use liz earle thou cannot mascara now, which is a shame as i feel dreadful without makeup.
Consultant gave me Evolve eye drops and told me to use 4 times a day. I am finding my eyes are far worse with the drops. Yesterday i did not use them and pain and heavyness also eyes seem permanently blurry like in a mist eyes did not seem so bad. I will try and get appointment with doctor to see if i can get a different drops. Has anyone got any advice for me what to ask for, or if you have had similar problems.
Very scary as your eyes are so precious. I have started taking Omega 3, 7,.
