Diabetes Eye test

[smidsy]

Due to being diabetic I have to have my eyes tested every year - one of the checks is to put drops in my eyes, I think to dilate the pupils.
With covid and other things going on last week I got my eyes tested for the first time in thee years.
The optician did not put drops in my eyes, are they not doing that now or was this optician not thorough - she knew and acknowledged that I am diabetic and that I needed the DB eye exam.

If they are what I am thinking i.e you cannot drive because everything is soooo bright then they only do mine about every 2 years.

Also diabetic
I get my eyes tested every year and get the drops so the optometrist can take photos.
Have to go and sit in the coffee shop for an hour until I can see again!

i get an annual check as well …. for me, i believe the diabetic check is done first and then the drops go in so that other checks, including photos, are done
