Jay Jayamohan's team undertook potentially life-saving surgery on his daughter Anna in Oxford.
A paediatric neurosurgeon has urged people to take advantage of free routine eye tests for children after one detected a potentially life-threatening condition in his daughter.in Oxford undertook the surgery on his 12-year-old daughter Anna after an eye test detected swelling on her optic nerve., which causes excess fluid to build up inside the brain and can cause brain damage.
Mr Jayamohan said it had now “become a bugbear” to encourage more take-up of the eye tests to try to uncover other undetected issues.“She uses the scar to play on when she needs to – ‘I’ve had brain surgery’ – but her two sisters are gradually getting bored of that,” he told BBC Radio Oxford.He added: “It taught me that I have absolutely got the best nurses and doctors around .
"To me that was a real eye-opener. We talk about ‘this is what I would do if it was my own child and I would trust them with my own kids’ but I can say that. “We are very lucky in Oxford that we have got so many medical teams and nursing teams that are top notch.”NHS sight tests“ has really become a bugbear of mine. For kids, it’s free – you don’t lose anything by getting them done. It’s not super fancy or expensive. It’s just routine,” Mr Jayamohan said.
“There are so many things that can be freely picked up and diagnosed. We get very few free things these days - let’s use them.”
