[QUOTE="poohtiggy, post: 690311, member: 130077"] Not at all, the equipment is the same but certain opticians are specially trained what to look for. It is a more in depth test as they actually take photographs of the back of the eye which makes it possible for them to note any damage, the photographs are then sent to the specialist who makes a final diagnosis. What upset me was the fact that the optician told me there was damage when in fact she should have kept her mouth shut and let the specialist decide, that is an independent specialist and not the one usually seen at clinics. She caused four months of needless worry for me and Retinopathy is scary enough without opticians adding more [/QUOTE]
