[QUOTE="jenner68, post: 1844864, member: 475421"] I went for my first diabetic eye screening at hospital yesterday and the nurse told me that since I have been diagnosed with diabetes I need to go to normal opticians and get my eyes checked. I said I only went January 2017 but she said I need to get my eyes checked once a year. I went to the opticians and they said that diabetics need to be checked every 2 years but they made me an appointment anyway. I went to my appointment today and then they said that as I was checked less than two years ago I don't need to be tested and if they did they would charge me for it. I'm confused. Who is in charge the NHS or the opticians? [/QUOTE]
