[QUOTE="Yorksman, post: 493249, member: 55568"] I had one small bleed on my photo and the opthalmologist told me that it was nothing and would probably be reabsorbed but I would get a letter from the agency who studied the photos telling me that there had been background changes and that I would be required to go for another appointment next year. They are paid by the NHS to do this so it is in their interest to find any excuse to get you back. However, if it is serious, they get you referred to a specialist. It panics people but, come back next year is a sure sign that it is not urgent. Sure enough I got a letter last week asking me to make another appointment. [/QUOTE]
