A WOMAN'S life was saved when an optometrist spotted a serious eye infection during an emergency appointment.
Logistics worker Susan Dolan, 57, from Houston, Renfrewshire, thought she had the beginnings of a stye but within 24 hours of popping into her opticians, she was on her way for an emergency op.
She said: "The surgeon explained to me that if I had left it for another 24 hours, I could have lost my sight, or even my eye." Susan noticed her eye was irritated while at work one Saturday morning when she had a pain above her right eyebrow and some itchiness.
When a colleague said her eye looked swollen, she went to her local pharmacist to get ointment for a stye.
