[QUOTE="Lazybones, post: 618202, member: 85347"] Thanks to all who raised issues following on from my initial posting. I do indeed go once a year to get my eyes photographed (Retinal Photographs) and also because of my limited vision (I'm now registered as blind) I am also required to attend my local hospital's eye clinic several times a year for a full and extensive eye examination. I have had several operation on my eyes and am currently awaiting a decision as to whether two further operations will be forthcoming to retain what's left of my vision I would suggest that although the Retinal Photographic screening program is beneficial to us diabetics, it only covers one aspect of our vision and the resultant photographs don't show many of the other potential problems that can occur to the eyes. Retinal Photography won't for instant tell them what the individual's eye pressures are, though over time it might indicate the damage that high eye pressures can produce to their eye/s. In [B]ALL[/B] instances that relate to eye problems, time is critical, and the individual should make an immediate appointment at either the hospital eye clinic or a [B]QUALIFIED[/B] Optometrist (Not one of the High Street Discount Opticians that regularly spring up and disappear) and should after a full eye examination there prove to be no problems discovered, then this is the best overall end result anyone can hope for which will hopefully put the individual's mind at ease.
