[QUOTE="poohtiggy, post: 690291, member: 130077"] Hi and thank you for your reply. The specialist I see at the hospital has nothing to do with my Retinopathy check I see him as I lost my sight in one eye due to a bleed at the back of the eye,very complicated! However he did put my mind at ease last week by saying what had shown up was a scar. I am still angry with Specsavers as the woman who did my screening actually said that I had damage to my eye due to diabetese. I have a very good specialist at the hospital who assured me it is a scar and nothing worse and prefer to take his word over an Optician. I am no longer worried about it but will not be going to Specsavers for my next eye test or Retinopathy screening. Welcome to the forum, you will get lots of help and advice here, it's very scary when you are first diagnosed, we have all been there but I'm sure you will feel differently once it all becomes clearer to you.
