[QUOTE="Dark Horse, post: 2203838, member: 52527"] It is possible that your glaucoma consultant is also doing the full check for diabetic retinopathy at the same time as monitoring your glaucoma. If that is the case, and your consultant is giving regular feedback to the eye screening service, you do not need eye screening appointments as well. If the consultant is only checking for glaucoma then you do need eye screening. There is a worry that the eye screening programme may have thought you were telling them that you were getting your diabetic retinopathy checked privately and were asking to opt out of screening. I would phone them and explain that you are seeing this consultant for glaucoma and you don't actually know whether you are receiving a diabetic retinopathy check at the same time. Give the consultant's contact details to the screening service and ask them to contact the consultant and ask. If you are not receiving checks for diabetic retinopathy from your consultant, your checks are the responsibility of the diabetic eye screening programme. [/QUOTE]
