Just back from it, no problems at all. Didn't need drops either which totally made my day. Had a look at the pics, and I must say...eyes are strange things. The lady said she can't see anything wrong, but that someone else will go over it anyway and I'll get the report sent to me :D
 
Hi Sam...

Brilliant...glad you got the all clear.....Nathan had his done today, as well, with drops.

Yes looking at the images...is fascinating....🙂

hey sam glad all was good with the screening
 
Good news! Mine's on Friday. First time I've had one since my diagnosis last November. However I've had a similar examination before when I was in Year 10. My audiologist consultant wanted to check my eyes were OK since I wear hearing aids. So I got my eyes tested and it turned out I needed glasses.

So at least I've had a prior experience of what I'll have happen to me on Friday. 🙂
 
Yeah, terrific news Sam - no drops! :D Mine is on Wednesday morning, they're bound to use drops on me...
 
good luck to marc,northener,proudspirit.
 
Glad everything was ok.🙂Bev
