I agree, because with my detached retina, I had no signs of it. It was just through my annual eye checkup that they discovered it and said that I had to get right in for surgery. I didn't have the usual symptoms of white lights and all of that stuff that you get with a detached retina. If I hadn't had the regular eye clinic, it would have been a challenge.
I agree with the idea that we need to have more advocacy for people to take advantage of the benefits they already have through most provincial health care systems to at least go in and do those checkups so that they get all the attendant things. There are lots of other health things unrelated to eyes that you can tell from the eyes.
I'm struggling with the word “identify”. It sounds like a standard. I don't know if there's another word that is more guidance as opposed to “identify”. I'm not a lawyer. I understand the struggle of dealing with some of this.
