Hi all!
I am Type 1, fairly well managed. I live in Edinburgh.
I am trying not to get scared about all the coronavirus updates, taking precautions etc but I need some advice.
I have my annual retinopathy eye exam on Thursday and as you know it involves placing your forehead and chin against a sort of frame for the test.
I *vaguely* remember staff quickly cleaning these areas before the test.
I don't want to be paranoid (!) but I feel a bit queasy about it, especially with the advice of not touching your face etc
My dad advised me to bring my own antibacterial solution and cleaning it myself but it's out of stock everywhere I looked.
Would you go?
Thank you!
