[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 1965177, member: 345386"] [USER=498565]@Emck[/USER] - I wouldn't like to speculate about your eyes, but going back to your comment about the unhelpfulness of the rerinopaqthy screening letter, it is worthwhile noting that whilst the patient receives what can, at best, be described as a bland letter, your GP will receive a more detailed version. In your GP's letter they are informed of whether one or both eyes are impacted and to what grade, on a numerical scale. The grades are detailed and explained on the link [URL]http://www.diabeticretinopathy.org.uk/gradingretinopathy.htm[/URL] Whilst that in itself doesn't help you right now, you could ask your GP for a copy of that letter. If you don't fancy an appointment just for that, perhaps you could write to him/her and ask for it, or have a telephone consultation. [/QUOTE]
