A Renfrewshire mum has been diagnosed with a brain tumour after going for a routine eye test.
Jane Kochanski, from Kilmacolm in Renfrewshire, went for the routine exam earlier this month after having severe eye spasms throughout the pandemic. She had been unable to see her GP about the spasms and the regular use of facemasks meant that those closest to her didn't notice the issue.
The 46-year-old's optician immediately noticed the spasms and sent her for an MRI, where doctors found a 3cm low-grade meningioma on Jane’s brain stem which was lying on the optical nerve and had wrapped itself around the carotid artery.
