I have just been to my optician. I have reduced the frequency of the measurement of non-clinincal cataracts as although we saw them disappear in one eye, the other eye seems quite constant. However, they have a new system for measuring the retina which looks at multiple layers.
Although I don’t have any substantial visual problems apart from a floater or two I decided to buy the new test to give me a baseline.
I also got photos of the retina. I have these for a number of years now.
I thought people might like to see these. It is a non-invasive test and in the UK costs GBP 90.
To be honest I think it is useful to have these baseline tests for anyone. Obviously I don’t know what the previous values were (although I have previous photos and eye tests going back a long way). I am going to get the intraocular pressure records to see what changes there are. My eyesight has been 6/5 on the Snell scale for some time and I slightly less myopic now than I have been previously.
