[QUOTE="Dark Horse, post: 1474160, member: 52527"] There are quite a lot of non-diabetic retinopathy conditions that can be picked up at screening. Some are so urgent that you would have been referred directly to ophthalmology rather than to your GP. Other non-urgent conditions include hypertensive changes, vein occlusions and glaucoma although these are not common in younger patients. Sometimes a naevus may be spotted at screening - this is basically a mole in the retina and is usually benign although patients may be referred to ophthalmology as a precaution to have it monitored yearly for changes. Try not to worry and let us know how you get on. [/QUOTE]
