[QUOTE="Dazza1984, post: 979141, member: 87437"] A couple of weeks ago I developed a very itchy eye that became a little blood shot. So, knowing we all should look after our eyes I called opticians and booked an appointment. Arrive and sat in the chair, the optician went through the usual set of questions; including those ref my diabetes. They have the notes etc. She proceeds with the exam with read the letters etc etc. I'm sitting there thinking 'you haven't even looked at my eye yet.' Tells me my vision is fine. (In my head) "Well of course it is, I managed to get here via car and walking without crashing/falling on my ****! Only got an itchy eye luv that I am sure is an infection!" She asked if my last retinal scan was normal. I said, well it was done here and you told me it was! After further chatting and me suggesting she look directly at my eye she said yeah it's likely an infection but you have to go to the Drs! I said, well you're an expert in eyes so how could they be any better. "Well being medical they'll sort out a prescription" Pretty much just left and went to pharmacist who sorted me out. I give better treatment to animals in my care (I'm a Vet) [/QUOTE]
