[QUOTE="DiabeticDi, post: 2203322, member: 443453"] Thank you so much for your reply. I am being seen by a private consultant for glaucoma and I have had severe retinopathy prior to having much laser treatment and 2 vitrectomies, a trabulectomy (for glaucoma), cataracts done on both eyes. I have been seeing him for 10 years and the eye screening people have been aware of this b ut have still given me screening appointments which I am happy to have. However they were asking me to go every 3 months and when I queried this, saying that I saw a consultant every 6 to 9 months, so could I perhaps have screening every 6 months instead, and at sensible intervals to co ordinate with consultant appointments, they have told me I don't need to go again! I am confused and upset...I have very poor eyesight with no peripheral vision in my left eye and as Ihave said glaucoma and need to preserve what I have at all costs. [/QUOTE]
