I didn't get my last eye check up - not because i missed it but because i was sent to the wrong type of eye doctor. on the eye forum i was advised to speak to my nurse - i don't have one, my specialist - no one knows who this is.
i generally feel ok although my eye feels "uncomfortable" at times. doe s it really matter?
Thanks for getting touch. My name’s Louise and I’m one of the Cancer Information Nurses here.
I can see from your previous posts that it has not been clear who your specialist team is.
It’s good that you feel generally OK, however we would always encourage people to report any changes or concerns, such as the uncomfortable feeling you mention. It may not be anything to worry about, but your healthcare team can check any changes out and talk things through.
If you are not sure who your specialist is, or you are struggling to get through to the specialist, you can contact your GP for assessment. They have copies of any clinic letters sent from your eye team, so they can also find out who your specialist is.
Kind regards
Louise, Cancer Information Nurse Specialist
