After normal working hours we go to whatever hospital is open for 'walk-ins'! @Dave - I was actually thanked for my patience :!: As I said to the Doctor, I was alive, no need for surgery and I was going home so there was no problem. @Judy - I never even touched my eye. My hands were on the keyboard at the time. @Chrisb - Thank you. I am not sure I would like blurry Toyboys! @Baino - We don’t have a local 24 hour medical centre.

Hope it clears up quickly I'd hate to think of you seeing blurry toyboys LOL I’m so glad it didn’t turn out to be too serious but I do agree one can’t be too careful where eyes are concerned.

I have had a scratched cornea and it was painful. I was in bed after surgery, playing cards with 2 of my kids, when the younger one made a "grand" gesture with a card in her hand and it scratched my eye. I thought it would have to be removed, it hurt so badly!! I hope yours isn't that painful and that you'll soon be well. OUCH! I have had a scratched cornea and it was painful.

A neighbour of ours had an eye operation recently and the drops she was given by the hospital caused her a lot of discomfort and she had to go to the local optician to get sorted out.Though maybe the hospital gave her the wrong drops as she is a wee bit annoying a female version of Victor Meldrew.

Although that sort of thing wouldn't be an A & E admission here, we'd probably go to the local 24 hour medical centre and they'd fix it straight away. Isn't it weird how these things always happen on the weekend! Glad alls well that end's well. As for laser treatment . . per Nancy's comment, I believe if you're the right candidate it can work miracles. I know two people who have had it done. No pain, a little soreness and photosensitivity for a day or so and good as gold! Oooh ouch!

The eye clinic at the Royal Vic is excellent. I went there a while back because I had very blurred vision for half an hour or so, but they couldn't find anything wrong. As you say, very important to get your eyes checked regularly, particularly we oldies! Glad it wasn’t anything serious. The eye clinic at the Royal Vic is excellent.

The drops are helping. @Dardar - I like that idea. ;) @Darlene - The driving was fast and the driver was using two mobile phones at times. Neither had hands free kit installed! @Roy - Alas paperwork never goes away. @Nancy - One of the first questions was 'Any history of Diabetes?' Great that you and Roy kept the fight up to seek help. Thanks for the story. @ChrisD - I can see but the eye needs rest at the moment. @Phil - No need to worry, GM is a tough cookie.
