A mum who went for an eye test at Specsavers was shocked when the optician referred her straight to hospital.
Ann Flinn, 54, from Haydock, was shopping for new sunglasses ahead of a long weekend in Benidorm, when an optician discovered an abnormality while testing her eyes. The mum-of-two was immediately referred to hospital for further tests due to a swelling on her optic nerve.
An MRI scan revealed Ann had a form of brain tumour that had swelled to the size of a "big grape." Ann said she felt "sheer shock" when she was told of the discovery, as she'd had not even the slightest indication anything was wrong and "felt fine."
