Welcome to the forum.
In my experience, a second referral is normally much faster than the first; your name is already in the system. In fact I am surprised that they did not just give you a new appointment when they gave you your initial lenses.
Phone the clinic and ask for a new appointment. They should be able to give you one pretty soon; and all the best.
Let us know how you get on.
