So I'm a type 1 diabetic, and getting confused. I was told that I could get a free eye test with being a Type 1, and so checked out Specsavers near me and they had a bit on their website about doing free eyetests. Yet when I phoned, they wanted to charge me for the test some 60 GBP. When I asked about the website, I was told that I was reading it wrong. As a result, I cancelled the whole thing, but was just wondering what the take is and whether any one else had that experience?
I know there is another eyetest that I get done at the hospital too in relation to the diabetes where they put drops in and it stings like mad, but I thought this was the same test that Specasvers did (according to their website it is for diabetics only) so was a bit puzzled.
Any ideas? Here is a link to their website: https://www.specsavers.co.uk/eye-health/diabetic-retinopathy
