Retinopathy check

[noblehead]

Had my eyes examined today and got the all clear once again, a weight off my mind as I always dread going to the Ophthalmology clinic as it brings back a few bad memories.

Hi Noblehead, that is great news !! I understand the dread that you feel. I had a test where they injected dye into my arm and watched to see what happened behind my eyes, I came out looking like I had been tangoed !!! My skin had turned orange

Well done Noblehead !

I am seeing the Ophthalmology clinic at the mo, having laser surgery on my left eye for the first time in a couple of weeks!

Well done. A big one ticked off the list for now.

Yes, I know what you mean, you always have that fear in the back of your mind.
( also know about the yellow dye, my doctor likes to do this on every test.(I'm not in the UK) It makes me feel slightly nauseous when they inject it. I don't think I've ever turned orange but it certainly causes a an interesting colour to my 'wee'.

Thanks everyone for your kind words

Bernie/Phoenix, I've had the dye injection twice, first time around I was fine but the second time I felt awful and was sick and nearly passed out, the colouring in the wee sure does look strange when you see it for the first time

Bright green wee is really strange, it almost glows in the dark
