[QUOTE="chocoholic, post: 81449, member: 2964"] I am really lucky to have an excellent optician who I see annually for normal eye-sight testing and diabetic retinal screening, all in one appointment.They have all the latest equipment and I have every confidence in them. I get a postal reminder from the hospital every year, who send me a list of those they recommend for specific retinal screening and the one I choose from that list is highly thought of,locally,by many residents. I think retinal screening is vital for all diabetics, though I worry about the brightness of the light that photographs the back of my eye.I'm sure it would not be allowed if there was any chance of 'damage by testing', so that's probably just me being a Mrs Worryguts but I'm sure all of us would rather a brief, blinding flash to long-term eye problems due to non-testing. I am on the Essex coast, if that info is of any use and my optician does not charge for retinal screening. [/QUOTE]
