long shot. Anyone know anything about how to read an eye chart to get a 6/12 or below score.
My mum needs that score to get eye treatment
She had dry age related macular degeneration in both eyes and one has turned to wet kind which means it deteriorates very fast. She tests 6/9 and the requirement is only one step up 6/12Perhaps she shouldn't get the treatment if her eyes aren't bad enough eh?
Nah nhs. And it's ophthalmologists not opticians. But they use the same charts. It's early onset. Only thing that they put the regs in is to delay the price of treatment. There is no medical reason why the drugs don't work at one spot than another other than to defer nhs giving treatment for a few weeks. And allowing them to defer spending.cant she ask for it to be done? assume youre on private ?
other than that, guidelines are there for a reason, no ? you could just ASK the optician what they think? if its going to get worse and its a degeneration not a case of "you woke up with shit eyesight" surely they can see the logic
