Hi I'm due to have my eye and feet tests for the first time but my ling distance vision has all of a sudden become blurry and thing I used to be able to see is now harder I.e number plates can diabetics with a NHS card get free eye tests from opticians like Specsavers ?
 
Haha yeah u can say that again price of prescriptions and stuff like that is extortion these days
 
Make sure your levels are ok because high ones affect eyesight a lot - I couldn't see today because I was weak willed yesterday and had popcorn! You will pay for glasses you won't need in a week. I did when I didn't know I was diabetic. Wait until your levels are well,level and then make an appointment.
