I'm so sorry to hear your news. It's quite a shock to get a diagnosis like this, but to then find out that it was first diagnosed back in 05 but you were unaware of it is truly devastating. I'm sure if the optician had told your husband back then he would have told you and as an optician's daughter you knew the importance of getting something done and would have done it. I know if it were me I'd be really angry about it since I'd have thought that after all those years I'd have built up a certain amount of trust by only dealing with one professional - seems it's better to see different people as one may pick up something another has missed.
