[QUOTE="shedges, post: 45180, member: 10554"] In Berkshire I used to get eye screening at my GP surgery, but since moving to Hampshire this no longer happens. Given the choice of traveling to Basingstoke hospital and taking time out of work, or going to my local optician and paying, I went for the latter option. The service there is brilliant. I think this is down to the fact that they are a local optician - not the fact that I pay. They get the money from my standard eye test from the NHS and I pay for the photographic analysis. The optician told me everything she was looking for on the photos, pointed out all the good signs and even showed me the difference between the vessels in the eye that transport blood from the heart and the veins that are transporting it back to the heart! It doesn't hurt to ask there and then - specialists are often keen to share information if you show an interest. Sam. [/QUOTE]
