Age related Macular degeneration

Wibbles

My father has had "age related macular degeneration" for over 10 years - does the fact that he has this disease, mean that I can have free eye tests - or do I have to pay for them ?

If you are 60 or over you can get a free eye test every 2 years.

Exposure to UV light from sunlight is maybe associated with an increased risk of developing AMD, although evidence is weaker than other causes. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macular_degeneration )
