I'm slightly concerned after seeing my optician this afternoon, he said one of my eye balls was larger than last time l went (5yrs) and also appeared to have a bulge in it. He said he wanted me seen at the hospital and would contact my doctor. l wasn't really worried about this however l received a call from the hospital an hour later telling me they need to see me Monday (Thursday today), when l told them that l couldn't make Monday as l have an important meeting they just said cancel it we need to see you urgently, l asked if there was anyway l could go in a couple of days later she said no they need to see me asap. Bit worried now

    Your eyes are more important than any meeting. If an ophthalmologist wants to see you that urgently....something is definitely wrong that needs urgent attention.  Make your apologies about not being able to attend the meeting and see that ophthalmologist.
