Share review of Princess Alexandra Eye Pavilion
I went blind for about 5 mins on a Friday late afternoon. I walked to the Eye Pavilion as it is near where I stay. I explained to 2 disinterested staff at reception that I already had no central vision in left eye, loss of some sight in right eye and now this.
" We don't do walk- ins". said one.
" Do you mean you do not deal with emergencies?"
I persuaded one to ask. She reluctantly disappeared for about 30 seconds and told me to go to an optician or GP for a referral. Or I could try ERI.
I went to my optician as soon as I could get an appointment.
He contacted GP and referred me ( I discovered) urgently to the Eye Hospital. 18 days,later tgey have still not responded.
Eyesight can be saved by fast action or lost by lack of action.
As it happens, I had had a stroke. Shame on them.
