Eye test fears

[Munchlet]

So I think I need an eye test, actually I know I need an eye test because I can't remember the last time I had one it's been that long.

Thing is I'm petrified they will find something I just can't bring myself to do it.

I keep thinking I've got melanoma of the eye or I've got a brain tumour and they are going to pick it up.

I just don't know what to do, I know I need to go and get one done, I do a lot of computer work and get tired eyes, I also have floaters but I've had them as long as I can remember and that was the last time I got my eyes checked was when they developed but I keep thinking I've not been for so long if they do pick something up it's probably too late to do anything anyway.

Why can't I just go my husband started struggling a few years ago with his eyes whilst driving and just went to the optician, didn't even give it a second thought whereas I'm just sure they are going to pick something up!

I hate this just want to be like normal people and go for these routine tests without being scared silly all the time.

Just go anyway. Fake it til you make it has got me through a lot.

tbh I would want to know if I had something that serious! ;)

I am the opposite I would sooner go and find out if their is something wrong or not,even though it makes me pannicy, I had head aches for 11 weeks and went Docs and he said go opticians, so glad I did as eyes were fine she said too too too long on Comp, suprise suprise:huh: I limit myself to about one hour a day with gaps and head aches have eased off.
So off you go and be reassured its always best to get eyes checked.

I was the same as you, Munchlet. Here is my thread about it from a month or so ago. You wrote a really great post on it which helped me very much. Perhaps having a read of it will help xx

Thank you Sarah

I do remember your post actually and have just read it again, if only I could take my own advice!!!

I think I might just have to book it and then it's done, I'll be a nervous wreck but I've put it off long enough!

thanks x
