Recently noticed a sudden floating and strange dark thing in my eye. Overnight, experienced bright flashing /balls of extremely bright light bit like lightening flashes. Presented at Broome hospital early morning just to check... Was processed quickly and Doctor rang specialist in Perth. Returned with letter & advised to have retina scan via Optometrist in town as hospital didn't have the machine. Dean at OPSM @ Boulevard Shop Centre saw me immediately and advised a problem. He promptly contacted specialist in Perth & hospital and it was decided to fly me to Perth immediately for laser procedure to repair a "retina tear/hole" or retina detachment I believe. The PATS office at hospital rushed it through and I was booked on a flight 4 & half hrs later! Follow up from OPSM to check and after procedure when I was concerned with issues was top notch!
Thanks to all for your prompt attention and care. Truly appreciated.
