  • As far as I recall, VE charge £10 extra for their Glaucoma test.

    Were you charged, cause if you paid the standard price.. then you got the standard test!

    I am sorry, but becuase my eyes are about as much use as some posters on these boreds, I get the full works every time.

    And I do not use the likes of the chains either.

    I also purchased the photo of the back of my eyes and on one of the photos my left retina was much paler than the right. When I asked her about this she said it was nothing

    I have this and it's not glaucoma. However, people with glaucoma can and do sometimes have this problem.
    Before this I had a few eye exams at a hospital in 2005 because I suffer with migraine. They said there was nothing wrong with my eyes then.

    A standard eye test wouldn't pick up glaucoma or the pale retina. (I was born with pale retina and it was picked up just before I was 21)
