I have had an eye that didn't feel too good for a couple of days, and yesterday I played a match and struggled a bit. I popped into my opticians (Tesco) and asked her to give it a look at this morning. Great service, she thought I had a retina tear and rang the hospital at 12 o clock, 2 o clock I was examined and need an emergency operation which is being done (I hope) tomorrow at St Thomas in London. I understand that they now insert a new lens to obviate the need for a cataract operation later on.

Great service all round, the only downside is that I don't know how long the healing process is before I play again.
 
Sorry to read that mate, hope everything goes ok, get well soon.
 
Hi. Can I ask how it happened? Or did it just appear.

I took a heavy blow to my eye, face from a football yesterday. I have been told before that my eye shape/prescription I am at higher risk of a detached retina.

I've no idea other than it happens a lot at about my age apparently.
 
Thanks Phil

She congratulated me on spotting the potential problem. The hospital congratulated her on being so thorough, and I love them both!!

Let us all know how it goes

Hopefully the putting will be better after
