Hi,
This may be of benefit for our UK sufferers.
PEARS Scheme gives you free access to an optometrist in some parts of the UK. In Wales, the link is
http://www.wales.nhs.uk/sites3/page....3555&orgid=562
You can access this scheme directly by going to an optometrist that subscribes to the scheme, or via your GP. I think it needs to be an acute flair-up rather than a routine complaint. I have used it recently when my right eye was particularily painful. And to be honest, I have more confidence in the optometrist I saw than the three or so doctors I have been to see.
