Eye tests when pregnant or in 2ww?

[Cori]

Is it safe to have an eye test if you could be pregnant? I think I'm due one this year (if it's every year - or is it every 2 years?) I had one last January for the first time in about 18 years, so I can't remember.

What about the Optimap where they take a photo of the back of your eyes? Is that safe in pregnancy?

I would've thought so, it's just xray's you have to be careful about. If in doubt, have a chat to the optician before hand to see what they say.

Yeah, I will do thanks. Hopefully it's only every 2 years though.
