Any ideas - should I be really annoyed?

[QUOTE="Paul520785, post: 1696295, member: 28546"] [FONT=Arial][SIZE=4]Saw 2nd consultant this afternoon - I have Wet Macular Degeneration in one eye and the other eye has nothing wrong - NO CATARACTS. - crudely put - Old age falling apart! 2 consultants seen very quickly - Neither willing to comment on 5 years of opticians telling me I had start of cataracts. I am sure that this has affected me over the last 5 years. Consultants have both stated is nothing to do with being Diabetic. Needs treatment ASAP according to letter / information pamphlet from hospital so will be arranging the course eye injections at 9.00 to-morrow morning. So I am now thinking that the optician "error" has delayed the diagnosis and treatment for at least 5 years and because it is common knowledge that cataracts are not treated until they are bad enough to cause noticeable sight loss needed treatment has been delayed. Does anyone think it would be worth chasing Specsavers and Tesco opticians for negligence???? Still really annoyed - I want to make others aware of the possibility of this type of mistake and to get some sort of compensation for what it has and will cost me and my family.[/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
