[QUOTE="Yorksman, post: 662120, member: 55568"] The ophthalmologists who do the tests basically send the photos off to a company who analyse them and who detect the 'early signs'. My opthalmologist took the time to show me the 'damage' and told me it probably occured ebfore I new I had diabetes, that it was nothing to worry about but I would get this alarming sounding letter. He said, if it were serious, they wouldn't wait a year. However, they all get paid for keeping this particular hamster turning the wheel. Last year, surprise surprise, I still had the same 'damage' as the year before. No new damage, just the same damage. So, I got the same letter. Your test has revealed some background damage ..... It's a bit of a gravy train. [/QUOTE]
