Got a football straight in the eye last night
Couldn't see out of that eye
This morning I can see but vision is blurred
Any point going to the docs yet or just assume it will gradually get better?
Yes I know eyes are precious etc.
Dang wrong forum
Its caused you to post in the wrong forum. I'd get it checked out.
😀
Would you take Paypal gift for it?
Dibs.
Will you post to Romania?
On a more serious note, go see the doc. During a five a side match at uni on of the girls got a footie in the face, she had a detached retina. Get it checked out
OK going this afternoon
Even better visit an optician.
What Drac said - GP will only refer to local eye hospital walk in anyway, ime.
I'd just go to your local Eye hospital's A&E department and say that you've had an impact to your eye and are experiencing a level of loss of vision. Best be sure.
Either walk in or call local hospital eye dept - never GP, or optician for injury or sudden changes , eyes need urgent attention.
Many hospitals have complete eye casualty dept.
If not sure 111 can guide you to nearest.

Many? As in one or two.
It does seem to be improving hour by hour, still a bit blurred though
Still worth checking out.
You can see if your lucky enough to have an Eye Casualty near you here.

Yes many

and OP just call and get some proper advice/checkup
Eit > as above
There's 2 in my region which covers Durham, Tyne and Wear through Northumberland that's potentially almost 70 miles to travel passing hospitals and countless opticians on the way.

You're not in London or Birmingham, that means you're a statistical outlier and of no interest or consequence to any government body, how have you not realised this by the time you're old enough to type?
I know my place.
I know my place.
In my bed, nekked but for custard filled waders and a top hat full of beans

And every time you forget it look at the cost of crossrail (or hs2) and the state of the a1.
Sorry I am in the Sarf - there are more , anyway OP should get it checked today.
Do not wait for appointment tomorrow or next week , 111 is good for this.
Weirdly there is an eye hospital in Manchester but it doesn't seem to show up using that search
I went to optician with eye issue. She spotted something was amiss & rang hospital. Hospital rang me a few hours later to arrange appointment for following day. Diagnosed with a retinal detachment & I was operated on next day. I was asked quite a few times if I had experienced a knock to the head.
Bear in mind the drops they use means you can't drive for several hours.
Yup Pennie that's pretty much how it'll work.
Sorry I am in the Sarf - there are more
2 In the Reading area.
It's a good call to visit one but there very few.
Go to Hospital. I'm an optician.
Yeah, your optician should send you straight to Eye Hospital A and E.
Go there direct so you aren't wasting time.
the Reading area.
Last place you want to go with blurred vision if you ask me.
Get it checked, detached retinas can be bad if you ignore them.
I had a detached retina 2.5 years ago, and will be getting one in the other eye at some point in the next year or so. I just go straight to Moorfields - it helps that I'm only an hour and a half away in west London.
Any update James? All ok now>?
I'm from Reading, blurred vision would help 😥
Yes thanks just minor iritis?
No treatment other than ibuprofen
A&E if it suddenly gets worse but right now it's feeling much better
