[QUOTE="Energize, post: 1791857, member: 28960"] Interestingly, I've recently had the letter 'background retinopathy'. Last year I was clear but the year before I seem to remember there was something. The first time the letter said I had some 'changes' (can't remember what) I was quite concerned, needless to say. I was then due to see my optician for annual check, told him about this so he had a good look in my eyes, having used dilating drops. He explained he used to do eye screening so was happy to check for me. He couldn't see anything and, as I mentioned, sure enough the next year was clear. I was at opticians yesterday, annual check again, and I told him the letter said 'background retinopathy' recently. He did offer to check but, in fact, I suggested that they would have to report 'everything/anything' so, at the moment I wasnt too concerned and would wait until my next scan, in the expectation there is nothing to see again. Hope this is the case, of course ;) [/QUOTE]
