[QUOTE="Mike Solomons, post: 1649614, member: 461553"] I am sorry but the posts above seem to be from those inexperienced with eye testing. I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in 1985 and have had proper eye tests at various eye clinics at hospitals ever since. The doctors check thoroughly, provide adevice and answer questions. At the test arranged by the clinic I described, the technician checked my wife's sight with a chart. Compared with my sight, which is relatively poor, a matter that bothers me, my wife's was significantly and worryingly worse, yet the technician did not advise this, he said it was OK. This is positively dangerous. My wife has given up driving, but if she hadn't, the technician's mistake could have led to a car accident. The clinic would not answer questions. We are still left without answers to the questions, e.g. why is my wife's sight so poor, is she suffering from diabetic maculopathy and what else may have been found. I am sorry, the test that my wife had was in my view dangerously incompetent. The clinics should be closed immediately and only re-opened when each clinic has a competent doctor present to examine eyes and answer questions. [/QUOTE]
