Hi,
I've got my first eye test checking for signs of retinopathy tomorrow and to be honest I'm a little fearful.
1. It says on the letter that they have to put eye drops in your eyes? It also says it may sting and mess with your eyesight. Is this true? Someone told me not everyone has to do the eye drops but I don't know if it's true or not
2. What if they do find retinopathy? I've only just been diagnosed (July 2015). Is it even possible to get complications this early on?
Please help me alleviate my fears
