Eye tests

mig

So my rheumy has made appointments for my 5 year eye tests that you have to have when on hydroxy I have had the first one done plus an eyeball scan, in a few weeks Im to go to a clinic called "evoke potentials "whatever that means it does involve having a fine wire laid into the bottom of the eye and various pads on the head I have had this done before and the worst part is sitting still and not talking for about 90 mins and no eye make-up then its back to eye clinic for results ,all this is happening in the next 4 weeks so if anyone is free I be needing pocket duties.Hopefully all will be normal and I can carry on with my meds with no changes.Im to see rheumy in november unless things need to change.

Sorry, mig. Can't help. The most my previous rheumatologist ever did was flip through a booklet of colourblind tests. I always passed as I parctically knew it by heart Good luck!

:oops: I sincerely apologise my lovely, I have been flitting in and out of the forum but somehow missed your post. :oops:

I have not taken hydroxy but am aware it can cause eye troubles - count me in for pocket duties when and wherever. DD

Mig, I'll come but can I wait in the waiting room? I'm very squeamish re eyes for some odd reason.

I have to say I shuddered when I read of how they are going to do this test. Personally, I think you are very brave! I hope after sitting for 90 minutes you'll be helped up out of the chair. If I sit for that length of time I can barely move. :roll:

I'll be in the waiting room with a glass of wine for you - I think you'll deserve it.
