Screening tests done by the medical professionals to me are extremely important because they provide checkpoints during the year, during my, I guess, lifetime, and they show how I'm doing and where my health is at any point in time. I'm a very data person, it would be brilliant if we could have continuous checks all the time, we can't do that unfortunately, but having those gives me some comfort to be honest because I'm hoping that they will catch any problems early enough that they can be treated before they become a problem. and they will become a problem to me, obviously if I lose sight it will be terrible to me personally, but obviously it has impact on my family and everyone else. So the sooner one can get an inkling that something is happening, the better, because the sooner we can do something about it. At least that's how I feel and I welcome the screening tests and actually in a weird way, I don't look forward to them so much, but I look forward to getting the results and knowing how things are going.
