I have my first retinopathy test tomorrow morning. Please with me luck. I'm not looking forward to have the drops in and not being able to see very well afterwards.🙄
 
Good luck with your retinopathy test tomorrow
 
Good luck Thelis! It's not so bad as your fear. Just remember your sunglasses and not to drive. XXXXX
 
With any luck you won't need the drops. Here's hoping anyway. And I hope it all goes well tomorrow.
 
I'm due for mine at the end of the month so I sympathise and send my support. Hope it goes well.

Good luck thelis. It sounds worse than it actually is. The drops do sting for a minute but then it's fine. Make sure you take a pair of sunglasses with you it's difficult to see in the bright light afterwards. I hope everything go wells. Best wishes Sheena
 
Best of luck! Only a bit of stinging for a couple of hours after but sunnies are a big help 😎:D
 
I had mine today... a tad uncomfortable but nothing major!
 
Good luck, first time nerves are understandable. You will be fine. Remember your sunglasses as I think its going to be another warm day 😎
 
Good luck, it is not as bad as you think and the effects of the drops do wear off reasnobly quickly (in a few hours).

I always take a hat with me, and sunglasses help too.
