[QUOTE="GrantGam, post: 1323869, member: 295621"] Do you wear glasses? I get my annual diabetic screening as I'm sure you do, and since getting glasses (this year) have been advised to get them checked at the optician every 2 years. There's no harm in going if you're having issues. Tbh, even a basic examination at an Optician (Specsavers in my case) included photos of the back of the eye. So if you had any minor bleeds, damage, etc - they should be picked up during a routine exam at an Optician. Try not to worry though, your A1c isn't bad at all and you may just need an amended prescription (if you wear glasses) or a pair of glasses if you don't:) [/QUOTE]
