Without Robert’s expertise and quick thinking, I would be blind. The consultant at the eye clinic even remarked that Dipple & Conway Opticians have more up to date equipment than the hospital. They are so up to date with their equipment and tests and incredibly thorough You get to see the same optician whenever you go, and they really take the time to get to know you and your eyes. I would highly recommend Dipple & Conway to anyone. The consultant said, if it hadn’t been for my optician noticing the abnormality and acting quickly, I would definitely have lost my sight.įollowing the procedure, I had drops for a few weeks then after that, I wouldn’t have known I’d had anything done apart from the fact that my headache disappeared immediately! So, I went straight into the next room after having anaesthetic drops in my eyes the laser burnt little holes into my irises to relieve the pressure. Well, I didn’t have any time to panic or research all the worst things that can happen. When she returned, she said, “We are going to have to do an emergency procedure on you.” So, I asked when she’d like me to come back, to which she replied, “No, now! If I don’t do it now, you’ll be blind in a few hours – I watched the drain hole in your eye close completely while looking at it! I’ve just checked the laser room and it’s all ready for you to go in.” She looked into the back of my eyes and did some different tests and left the room to check something. I went straight into my appointment and saw the consultant within minutes of entering the department.

I asked my son to drive me as I presumed, I’d be having drops in my eyes. The following day I had a call from the NNUH asking if I could attend a glaucoma clinic on the Saturday. He was very calm as he spoke to me and explained what he could see. He said I should let him know if I hadn’t heard from them after a few weeks and he would chase it up. After my eye test he looked to the back of my eye and said he could see a bit of a change and would refer me to the eye clinic at NNUH. As always, he is very kind and thorough and puts you at ease. Then I went through to see Robert Conway. They manage to make you feel like you are the most important person there and they just want the best for you. I phoned for an appointment and Dipple & Conway booked me in really quickly, for the following week. I was given my pressure checks and scans etc., I always find the staff so helpful and kind.

It felt like a ‘head rush’ but in my eye. I can only describe it as the eyeball was feeling ‘swimmy’ like looking through water for a few seconds. Also, a couple of times my eye had felt peculiar. Since October, I’d been suffering from a headache, but I had just lost my sister to cancer so assumed it was stress. I normally go around April but as Dipple & Conway were open during lockdown and I knew they were excellent with all the sanitation, I felt comfortable and confident to go in. I visit every year for my eye test., and simply thought this appointment would be the same as any other. I used to see Mr Conway, Robert’s father, then have seen Robert Conway ever since his dad’s retirement. I chose Dipple & Conway Opticians as I have been having my eyes tested there since I was five in 1972. One of our longstanding customers, Paula Jermy, recently told us how one of her regular check-ups had a huge impact on her life – here is her story:
