[QUOTE="Dark Horse, post: 1147174, member: 52527"] Screening is just that - screening. It is not a diagnosis, but identifies people who [U]may[/U] need treatment at a point where the treatment will be most successful i.e. [U]before[/U] there is any vision loss. Further tests are needed to determine whether any treatment is needed, and quite a high proportion of people who are referred to hospital do not need treatment and will return to regular screening. If treatment is needed, having attended regular screening makes it more likely that the disease has been identified early enough to for treatment to have the best outcome. [/QUOTE]
