A week and a half ago I walked into our small greenhouse, turned

The advice I had when I had an eye infection was "if the eye surgeon's
receptionist says he is too busy to see you ignore her and kick his
door in."

Very good advice - an infected eye is not something to wish on anyone.
I'm sorry to hear this Bob and hope the recovery is swift.


and be aware that some GPs know less about eyes, than some with O
level physics.


Recent experience with someone else's sight problems leads me to believe
that some GPs know less about eyes and the latest available treatments
than any half-competent computer user with an internet connection and
five minutes Googling. :-/

Hope you're on the mend now and fully recovered asap Bob.
