Eyes

[Keith at Tregenna]

I was told not to drive and have someone drive me,
I accepted ambulance travel as waiting for the effects
to wear of was suggested to be 4-6 hours, though all
eyes and patients are different, further advice was any
problems after 24 hours to go back.

Hi Vernon - I would say do not drive on the day you have the drops. They warned me in the letter I got about my appointment that I should not drive as I was going to have the drops. I managed to get the bus to the hospital each time that this happened and did not drive for 24hrs. There is a blurring in your sight and I for one would not recommend you going anywhere near the car that day. Hope all goes well which I am sure it will. The worst is in fact all the preparatory stuff, after that the actual operation is a relief. The reward is amazing and I look forward to you getting that reward of the great improvement in your sight and the enjoyment that it brings.

Thanks Chris
Yes i have thought of that however a bit conplex here as i will have to catch a Train first to Lithgow then a Bus or Cab to the Hospital,so i suppose not too bad only will have to leave early enough from home.
There may be a chance that my Next Door Neighbour will take me but as of now he is not too sure on that date,
Anyway i will get there and back by hook or by crook but not nt Car as you advise!
I will take that advice from you .
Thanks again mate
Cheers

Vernon, down here across the border you must have a qualified person to take you home after the op.
Not allowed to go by your self.
Different states, different rules.

Also warned not to look through key holes for a few days after. LOL

Vernon, I am happy to pick you up and drive you down to Lithgow and bring you back home. I would enjoy the trip with you.
Cheers! Richard

RE: Initial Eye check, it is recommended as discussed not to drive when the Pupil is to dilated,
the advice to be accompanied here is for the actual op. My initial required an emergency eye
check and I took a taxi both ways, it was close enough economically to do so. My appointment
was for an hour before our local MN Annual service and stopped off on the way home unescorted,
I was there for the service but, did nut attend the reception after, I walked home with no problems.
The kind offer from Richard seems a good idea.

Regards, Keith.

Hi Vernon.
I was going to say don't even think about it. Good offer from Richard, but anytime no one is available to drive you you can get some one from social services to take you , as you are on a pension.
