1. Bring your current glasses. The team will need them for comparison, even if you feel they’re “fine.” (They’re probably not fine, let’s be real.) 2. Ask about the scan. The OCT machine produces a colour map of your retina—it’s genuinely beautiful to see. 3. Plan parking early. Ealing Hospital parking can rival a Black Friday scene; arrive 15 minutes early to grab a spot near the building’s rear entrance.
Also, don’t stress about the drops. The dilating drops make your eyes sensitive to light—so bring sunglasses, even if it’s overcast. You’ll look like a off-duty rockstar stumbling out, and that’s part of the fun.
