Hi all,

went for eye test and retinopathy screening, had fresh prescription coz one eye improved but the other had got worse, go figure??

Anywho, assistant carried out screening and said as she wasnt qualified to interpret pics so have to wait for Optician to take a look and pics would then be sent to Diabetic Retinopathy peeps, so hpflly all will be well may take up to 6 wks before I know for certain.

Only problem was by the time I got home I had the most awful splitting headache :( and eyes were still stinging, and yeah I had got sunglasses on! Ended up going to bed for a while to get rid of it, has never happened before, but hey just gotta put up with things sometimes I guess.

thanks
