"Care at the Sydney Eye Hospital Emergency Department"

I have been to the Sydney Eye Hospital twice. I’ve walked in off the street, I have had problems for 5 months. The girl saw me at the door and in no more than 20 minutes they called me in, assessed me and asked me to sit down again. Probably 25 minutes again and the nurse saw me and they looked at my eyes, checked everything I was asked to sit down again and then the doctor saw me. It was a three step process. Then they called in an ophthalmologist and he gave me some drops for my eyes – no one has been able to help me in 5 months – and he gave me these drops and I couldn’t live without them. Before I was thinking I couldn’t live like I was, I have an infection in my eyes and every time I blink, on both eyes, every time all day I was experiencing pain. The only relief I got was when I went to bed and shut my eyes. I just wanted to stay in bed all day. They worked out what was wrong. I’m walking around, driving and going out again. I’m back playing sport.

If anyone ever has eye problems I tell them to go to the Sydney Eye Hospital.
