Mick Antoniw: Politician thanks health staff sudden eyesight loss

“If I hadn’t been treated quickly there was a risk I could have permanently lost the sight in my eye,” he said.

He said his eyesight should return “gradually over the next few weeks”, but that he has been told he must not do anything that could cause pressure to the eye.

“Reading is an issue so I’m very limited in some of the work I was planning to do,” he said.,

He has also had to cancel a trip as he cannot travel, but “your eyesight is more important”.

Mr Antoniw said the issue with his eye was unexpected.

“I’ve had floaters [in the eye] before, but I’m 70 years old, so that’s quite common. But then my eyesight was completely lost,” he said.

“Hopefully I’ll make a full recovery, but it just shows how incredible the NHS is.

“I know it has its challenges, but when you need it the level of skill and expertise is remarkable,” he said.
