"Better than winning the lottery!"

About: Specialist Services / Diabetes 8 Care Team

(as a service user),

Annual diabetic retinopathy test.

I have been partially sighted since the age of 11. Anything to do with eyes freaks me out. 

Today I was able to be seen by 2 specialists, a trainee on the slit lamp and her trainer. Both were thorough. The made sure that I was relaxed as possible during the examination. The could see how anxious I was and kept me calm and focused, no punn intended. At the end they put me at ease by saying, "same time next year".

For someone who works in IT and is the only car driver in the family, it was better than winning the lottery.
