Written by a patient
30th September 2017


I visited the Hospital in September 2017, I was originally booked in to the Glaucoma Clinic but this appointment was cancelled by the Hospital and was re-arranged for the Neuro Clinic. My appointment was for 09.00 I was seen about 9.20 I was the first patient of the day. I was introduced to my consultant a gentleman called Axel who carried out some very basic test using a eye chart and a colour blindness test. He used a very small torch to look in to my eye although the room was fitted with the latest technology (machine) for examining the eyes, which was pointed out to me by one of the two students in the room.He was also very honest and said he could see nothing with the torch my consultant was using. My consultant told me he could see nothing wrong but I would be sent to to have the back of my eyes scanned. He said he did not think he would need to see my again, But he would be writing to the DVLA to notify them of my condition and they will arrange to have my eyes re-tested by someone appointed by the DVLA to see if I can keep my driving licence or have my driving licence suspended or completely revoked. This did confuse me a bit as I thought he said he could see nothing wrong? I was referred to the Hospital by the Diabetic Eye Screening Team at my local hospital via my GP, After both they and my opticians raised concerns about my eyes, I wish the two students who were with Axel every success in the their future careers.
