Hi, I'm glad to know you are going private for Ophthalmology. That NHS list length is shocking, but all the clinics I go to seem to be full, with often a long wait past appt time when you get there. If Cons says next review 2 months the earliest it comes is usually for 5-6 months, and if he says 6 months, then usually around a year to wait in reality. Like you, I went private for one appointment in lockdown when my NHS review was long overdue & the inflammation had got worse. Sorry to know about the possible glaucoma. They surprised me by testing my pressures at recent review as I've usually only had that done by the optician. I'm not on here so much at the mo so feel free to PM me any time if you want detail of drops etc. Hope the Ophthalmology appt goes well & sorts out the dryness for you.
