[QUOTE="Koalajane, post: 2099825, member: 398302"] About 5 months ago I went to the eye clinic and was told my left eye had macular oedema and I would need injections. I already have it in my right eye which has improved with the injections. I got home to a message on my phone to say that the left eye did not meet the criteria for injection so it would be laser. After many phone calls I got an appointment for July 1st and injection appointment for my right eye on July 2nd. A week before the laser the appointment was cancelled by the clinic. At my injection appointment I was told the left eye now met the criteria for injection so had them both injected that day. Not sure what the criteria is but wonder if it is anything to do with finances. I knew my eye had got worse but whenever I rang to chase the laser appointment I was told it was down as a regular appointment and not an urgent one. I then got an appointment for laser on July 19th which after the Consultants secretary discussed it with the consultant was cancelled as I didn’t need it as having injections. I do despair. [/QUOTE]
