eye doctor

[Fred]

Chatting to my doc about this problem - it happened to me a few years back in Monty and was told the waiting list was at least at 12 months - he says that if you can get a letter of referral from your GP you will move up the queue much quicker.  But I got the feeling any eye problem had to be quite bad/serious to warrant a letter.

Probably information of no use whatsoever folks but it might be worth a chat with your GP to see if there's anything that can be done to speed up appointments.

Bonne chance.

Mrs Fred did get a referral originally but now needs her check up as she needs glasses for driving. The health care in France is excellent, but they obviously don't take eye sight so serious. Having said that I had mine checked whilst I was in hospital as a precautionary measure.

I have an appointment at Poitiers hospital next week so she is going to ask the eye department whilst we are up there.
