Hi, I attended routine eye test yesterday where optician told me I have a birthmark at the back of my left eye, he said it had not been seen before so he checked several times more and confirmed that the was a birthmark with a white mark in the middle. He said he thought it nothing to worry about but he was referring me to eye unit as urgent, obviously it am very concerned, should I be, he also said I probably wouldn’t get a referral for at least a month and the appointment could be anything up to a year, is this normal timespan, should I pay privately it cut the waiting time?
