New figures show that on average it can take about 100 days to receive treatment in the specialist health test. At the same time, several Auglegar reports on waiting time for over one year, depending on the degree of seriousness. Got shadows in the field of view for Marianne Skulstad from Bergen had the waiting time consequences. Back in 2017, she was due to high pressure in the eye to Bergen an ophthalmologist of optician, and received a long good and quick follow -up. – Then it started to get rare, but I was told that I was in good hands, she says. Skulstad had the last control in June 2023, and says that she went for a total of 2024 and wait to be called in, but that she never heard anything. – Then I called in November, because then I had started to get some shadows in the field of view. I was too patient, she admits. Skulstad has told Bergen ophthalmager about her experience. Photo: news \/ Andreas Vatne On the phone with the Bergen Oythege Center, she was told that they had such a long queue that they could not take her in without a referral that it rushed. – Two weeks later I got an hour with the optician, and there it turned out that I had 41 in print. Then I was sent straight to Haukeland University Hospital, which spent three to four hours reducing the pressure, says Skulstad. – Week after I learned that I had been injured to the optic nerve. This is what Bergen Oythego Center says: Daily tenant at Bergen Oythege Center, Henriette Fennelly: All referrals are prioritized based on a medical need. We follow the national priority for eye diseases – what is urgent is treated quickly, while others have to wait. The waiting time is at the same level as others within our field. When it comes to the health problem, this is a national addict. The national pressure we see lies outside our room for action. We are constantly working to streamline our processes to meet both patients and their needs. Unfortunately, when it comes to the specific patient case, we cannot comment on individual cases. – People lose the view in the waiting queue Hans Torvald Haugo is the head of the subject and secretary general of the Norwegian Opticians’ Association. He says the history of Skulstad is not unusual: – Unfortunately, new stories about people who have been given a reduced vision are constantly waiting while waiting for treatment. Haugo thinks the condition has gotten worse in recent years: – The waiting lists in Norway have been increasing for quite a while, so it is not surprising that we are in this situation now. He thinks cooperation is the solution: – The distance between the various actors in the health test is too great. We must utilize the local capacity where people live. Then we have to use the Internet to send information back and forth so that, for example, an optician and an eye doctor can cooperate. Hans Torvald Haugo is clear that the consequences can be big if you do not do anything about the eye health system as we know it today. Photo: The Norwegian Opticians’ Association In the longer term, Haugo wants an upgrade of the knowledge to opticians: – Then they can access more advanced treatment and relieve Auglegar with more complicated follow -up. He is clear about why this is important: – The consequence is that we come to blow up the traditional eye health system as we know it now. Wish good and efficient use of all health personnel Secretary of State Karl Kristian Bekeng (Ap) acknowledges that the waiting times in some areas are too long: – But we have raised several billion kroner to the hospitals. Within the eye field, there are no more hospitals open in the evenings and on weekends to treat more, patients are transferred to contract specialists and agreements have been made with private players. Secretary of State Karl Kristian Bekeng (Ap) is positive about more collaboration between the professionals, and Meiner opticians are an important part of the eyesight test. Photo: Frode Meskau \/ news Bekeng says that in 2025 the waiting time will get the waiting times back to the level it was before the corona duck. He is positive about more cooperation: – Our goal is good and efficient use of all health professionals. This involves cooperation and task sharing between public and private providers and a division of tasks between health professionals. Back to Marianne Skulstad, the experience has also given consequences beyond the physical injury: – There is, among other things, the fear that I suddenly get high pressure again, and get poorer views. Skulstad hopes that the queues are decreasing in the future, but is not particularly optimistic. Photo: news \/ Andreas Vatne Ho understands that there is a pressed sector: – I feel sorry for them. They seem overworked. Skulstad hopes that her story can be a reminder for others: – We must look after our own health – scream loudly and not give us. The system is so pressured that we can risk being injured in line. Published 13.03.2025, at. 22.20
