Freckles in left eye, blurred vision. Worries it’s cancer

Hi. Went to the opticians regarding a brown freckle in my eye. He confirmed it was raised and there were 2 others and has raised an urgent referral. I did the wrong thing and googled symptoms. Now extremely worried I have eye cancer. I have a young son and the stress of this is overwhelming. 

  • Welcome to the forum TJALL although I'm sorry for the reason you're joining us.

    As you've found out, Google is not our friend when it comes to researching symptoms but I'm glad you've joined us as our members know how tough this time can be and hopefully some of them will be along soon to offer their support and advice.

    In the meantime, I hope this information we have about urgent referrals and these tips I've found on how to cope with the wait for news will help steady your nerves until your appointment comes through.

    Fingers crossed it's nothing sinister TJALL.

    Kind regards,
