After diagnosis 2 weeks ago, I booked an eye test for tomorrow to check all okay with my eyes.
I have just had a call back to say I’m not due an eye test until the 15th September, so the NHS won’t pay for an early test ♀️
Firstly - I have always paid myself, so what difference does it make to the NHS if it is early?
Secondly - what if there is damage - why should I wait until the 15th to find this out? And what if it was another year away?
This doesn’t make sense to me - has anyone experienced similar?
