I've just waited a month for my letter, which was the all clear. I assume if there is a problem, they would contact people sooner, though.

Good luck today WL. It's always good to get these things done.
 
Maybe it's just me...
I like it, I wish I could have mine in the middle of winter instead of the middle of summer.
I want to see if my night sight is better. On the way home there is a nice darkened pub, so my wife and I sit and have a JD and coke or two, waiting for it to wear off.
I love looking at the bar staff as they notice my huge black holes for eyes.

I seem to get a bright day what ever time of the year mine is.
 
Hello peeps! I'm pleased to say my eye screening went very well and was informed to expect a letter confirming this (dare i say it!) result within 1wk - 10days!
The eye drops did sting a little but only for about 5 minutes. Next eye screening in 12 months.
My thanks to everyone for your support and good luck good wishes, it helped & is appreciated 🙂 - and to Rosiecarmel for reminding me to take my sunglasses with me x

I feel home sick at the mention of the North York Moors.
Good luck.
