Another year, another session and another result.

I got a letter (another) from another hospital telling me I have an appointment there too:-) Seems that my GP's clinic arranged one screening and my regular 2normal" clinic arranged another. I don't know if I should tell the hospital, or just go and have another set of pics done. Maybe I can get a boxed set and send them to friends at Christmas. What d'you think?

I believe they all have to be able to do it but if I am wrong they will be able to point you in the right direction. Under law as a diabetic you are entitled to at least one free examination per year (no glasses required). Just ask/tell them.

'retinal scan', bugger I am getting my soap box's mixed up ;-) I am all for one and against the other, no prizes for guessing which. DaveT Sorry should have made that clear I go and have vision checked every yr and wear glasses but no eye dilating. When I saw the endo a few wks back about my addison's he mentioned them having a new camera so wished them happy snapping :) I had so many bad experiences with endo's and so called diabetes specialists I shut the door very firmly 20 yrs ago. opened it slightly 3 yrs ago and found no difference in the attitude/knowledge so door now shut and bolted.

I just picked up my new specs and Vision Express always have a good old rummage around in my eyes. Same again this time, but I didn't get my specs from them, I took the scrip to Specsavers. Didn't save a penny btw!

No apologies necc Pat and I've not been around here as much myself. Been busy doing r/l stuff too. I've got Bignascarfan coming to stay on Thursday, so it's "whip round like a dickhead" time too:-)) > Anyway it's winter coming so i'll be around a bit more now the little > darlings round here aren't allowed to play out in the dark which means my > car is safe and means i can relax in "here" :) It's possible the biking will slow down a bit too:-( SignatureBeav Reply to "beavis dot original at ntlworld dot com" (with the obvious changes) > Another year, another session and another result. > > "We can find no evidence of any diabetic retinopathy or damage" > > That will do for ME! :)) Good on yer Beav Just curious but does the laser treatment affect the driving licence bike/car? SignatureDaveT Dx 1955 T1 on BeefL and humalog when needed >> Another year, another session and another result. >> [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > Just curious but does the laser treatment affect the driving licence > bike/car? No it dun't Dave, but I'm not convinced that I'd have corrective laser treatment for my shortsightedness. The longer I can keep away from lasers, the better. Anyway, I just bought my new specs (today funnily enough) so I'm Ok for a couple of years. Ultra thin varifocals are getting f.cking expensive though. Cost me 240 quid just for the lenses. Bastards. Shoulda gone to Specsavers.
