[QUOTE="Mr_Pot, post: 1844970, member: 216415"] The two types of test are completely different. The retinopathy scan is concerned with your retina, as the name suggests, at the back of your eye. The optician tests your eyesight which is mainly determined by the lens at the front of your eye. Do not panic if the scan reveals background retinopathy, this is common and not serious if it doesn't get worse. It will probably go away with time if you control your bg. As [USER=460785]@xfieldok[/USER] says do not be in a hurry to get new glasses as your eyesight will change as your bg stabilises, it may even improve. [/QUOTE]
