Diary - I got an eye check-up this morning

[Maybo]

This is an entry from my diary. Please check it and correct any mistakes.

I got an eye check-up this morning, and I was relieved because my eyes are healthy. At first, I didn't planned to get my eyes checked but what had happened in my mum's eyes worried me. She saw flashes in her eyes, and the doctor said that could be a sign of retinal detachment. I recalled that I've seen flashes too over the last few weeks. If my vision becomes blurred or black, I need to see the doctor as soon as possible.

I hadn't planned to get my eyes checked, but what happened to my mum's eyes worried me.

What do you mean by "black" there? That you stop seeing anything?

Yes.

Well, let's hope that doesn't happen.

Does worrying run in the family?

I didn't planned

You make this error quite frequently. Remember that when you use any form of the auxiliary "do", the associated verb must be the bare infinitive.

I didn't plan to ...
She doesn't want to ...
Does he like to ...?
Did they plan to ...?

You're mixing it up with the present perfect or past perfect where "I haven't planned to" and "I hadn't planned to" are right.

I don’t worry anymore.

Is it OK to say "my vision becomes black"?

Is it OK to say "my vision becomes black"?

No, you could say "I can't see at all/I can't see a thing/my vision goes blank/I lost my vision".

I got an eye check-up this morning.

While the above is not wrong, I prefer "I went for an eye-check-up/I had an eye check-up".

In the UK, most of us call it an eye test.
