Hi all. I had my eyes tested at specsavers around Feb March, and they said my sight had changed considerably.
As I had recently been diagnosed as a diabetic, she stressed the importance of coming back in a year for another test.
However, my lenses are over £200 (varifocals) and I currently cant work due to ill health but also dont qualify for any benefits (long story) . I couldnt afford to buy glasses then if I was going to have to buy another pair in a years time (I've had zero income this year from anywhere, not a single penny)
As I've been on LCHF for months and my sugar levels are under control, and as I find myself straining my eyes, I want to have another test. IO have one booked for tomorrow but specsavers say since I've had one test this year and it's me that wants another one, I have to pay £25 for the test.
Is this correct? Seems I'm being penalised left right and centre at the moment
