So I've finally managed to book an eye test, I'm not going until Saturday but I'm shaking now.
I've not been for years and I'm petrified they are going to tell me that I have a tumour or melanoma of the eye.
Do you think it will help if I tell them how nervous I am or has anyone got any tips or advice.
I just think by the time I get there I'm going to be a blubbering wreck.
I've had floaters for years and years and that is the last time I had my eyes tested was when they developed. My eyes were fine then but obviously that was a very very long time ago and I'm sure over the years I've steadily developed more floaters.
That's what has made me book the test I keep focusing on them at the minute and so they seem really bad. Having said that last night I went out for dinner with friends and throughout the entire evening I didn't notice a single floater so I think they do tend to appear worse when I'm thinking about them.
I know it's my own stupid fault for not going sooner but it was never something my parents encouraged us to do as kids and in fact my dad has just recently had his first ever eye test at the age of 67 so obviously eye health was not something they placed a lot of importance on.
Any advice on how to stop myself having a complete panic attack?
thanks
