They don't hang about if they suspect serious. I was at the eye clinic within 2 hours and jumping the appointment queue when there.

Thanks SuperDel - I guess they know what they are doing.
I will wait & see...

Update - not cancer or malignant is the good news.
Bad news is that the opthalmologist has spotted another 'non treatable' eye disease.
It is called 'Lattice degeneration'.
There is no treatment currently available - and I only have a problem with my eyesight if my retina detaches or tears. If the retina detaches I will have to get to a hospital fast for surgery!
I'll just carry on as normal (making sure I look after my head and eyes) - no knocks or scrapes.

Thanks Dan.Originally Posted by porkies
Yep - Can still ride the bike / car - I have 20/20 vision with glasses/lenses however, if I knock my head or eye in the wrong way - I will be more susceptible to a torn / detached retina - which will require immediate attention. Obviously no contact sports (boxing e.t.c.)
Trust me to get something rare (8-11% of the population have this) and it is purely hereditary.

Good to know ridings not prohibited 8-) means you have to mind speed bumps and potholes too, not easy in this country
