Just interested to see how others received the diagnosis, did you go to the GP as you were feeling unwell? Did you receive your diagnosis by another means.
For myself at the time I had no idea at all that something was wrong until i realised that the glasses I had been using to work on the Ipad no longer worked and without them the screen was a total blur...this happened quite suddenly over a couple of days.
I called my optician and there had been such a shift in my prescription that she gave me a letter to give to the GP to arrange a full blood count and the rest as they say is history.
Very grateful to this very on the ball young lady!
I am back to visit her again this week as the prescription she gave me for driving is now far too strong (actually I feel that I can see better wihtout any glasses for distance but want this confirmed before I gaily stop wearing them for driving!) As for reading and computer I am back in an old pair of glasses that I was wearing 10 years ago!
