eye spy

I went to see my GP today as I have been getting these weird flashes in my vision and sore eyes since I was hit by the car in January and as they are still happening I was worried in case I had got some serious damage.
He had a look at my eyes and said everything seemed OK, but advised me to go and get my eyes tested at an opticians just to be sure. I also mentioned to the GP that I have been having nightmares and flashbacks since the accident/incident and that I keep getting really panicky when I cross roads and he offered to refer me to a counsellor, to which I agreed. I asked him how long he thought the waiting list was, as I envisaged waiting months before I got to speak to anyone. He checked on the computer ad said "Well, I can offer you an appointment with the practice counsellor in about 10 minutes if that suits you"! Apparently someone had just cancelled, so I got seen straight away. Hows that for service?!
I went to the optician this afternoon to get my eyes checked (at vision express, and very helpful they were too) and after a comprehensive check the optometrist (I think that's the right one) decided the weird flashes and floaters are being caused by some of the vitreous fluid in my eyeballs becoming slightly detached from my retinas, as a result of the impact of the accident. Apart from giving me the weird flashes and making me feel a bit squeamish it will not cause me any lasting problems and should clear up by itself. Still though, I keep discovering new parts of me that were injured. I am currently waiting to see if I need an arthroscopy to check out the pain in me right knee, where the car first hit me. Is it any wonder I am still feeling very nervous when I am out on the roads?
One good thing though - I no longer need glasses! In fact I apparently have perfect vision in my right eye and near perfect in my left. That's nothing to do with the accident, just because I am now fully grown and the long sightedness of my youth is no longer a problem. Woohoo!
