Dear XXXXXXX,
Thanks for sending your query to us.
After a good surgery mostly you do not have to see the surgeon and assistants are able to follow you up.
Your result seems to be OK other than the rt. eye which should have been better.
Some anti infllamatory drops must have been adviced to you which may be continued and this photosensitivity is usually taken care of with the passage of time.
Please do get back to me in case of any further query in this regard.

Could you please tell me what the SFA test I have been booked into the Opthalmology Department is for?
Dear XXXXXXX,
Thanks for getting back to us.
This could be a variant of fundus angiography.We usually inject i.v.flurocine XXXXXXX to delineate the vascular network.I am sure an angiography was performed before undertaking your previous surgeries.
