There are a number of eye conditions that may impact vision and require continual management and monitoring. These may include glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, diabetic eye diseases and uveitis. You may also need ongoing eye monitoring if you are being managed on certain long-term medications such as hydrochloroquine (or Plaquenil) or fingolimod (or Gilenya). 

Occasionally, your primary carer (that is, your GP/family doctor or local optometrist may also refer you for a second opinion on acute eye problems. These may include painful eye, eye injuries (e.g. foreign bodies, corneal abrasions), flashes/floaters, or sudden changes in vision.
