In 2005, when I was first diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, I started having retinal eye scans in November (every 12 months) with my optician who had all the relevant equipment and I received the verdict at the time of the scan. Three or four years ago the burden of doing the scans has been removed from local opticians and put in the hands of an NHS hospital in Yarmouth. I live in Ipswich but they arrange for a team to visit Ipswich to do all the local scans. My problem is it is no longer annual appointments. My dates have been:-
xx/11/06
17/01/07
14/02/08 and now
08/06/09
This is hardly an annual check-up. Is anyone else experiencing the same problem?
Is it now assumed that a 16 month gap between scans is now acceptable?
