[QUOTE="Sid Bonkers, post: 888683, member: 19121"] [B]All diabetics[/B] are offered annual retinopathy not just T1's and as for the visual field test that is now given to everyone having an eye test at an opticians, my wife and I both had eye tests two weeks ago at a Tescos opticians and were both given a visual field test as part of the routine eye test, in fact my wife was told that she had missed one sector in her left eye on 2 separate tests at a 15 minute interval and it would be referred to her GP for further investigation. Whether that is an Esterman test I have no idea tbh but anyone can be banned from driving if their sight is impaired to a point where driving becomes unsafe whether diabetic or not. Personally I am just happy that I am able to get free retinopathy screening every year so that if a bleed is found it can be acted on swiftly before potentially becoming worse. [/QUOTE]
