One can always check their profile. If they are not living in the country stated there, perhaps it would be an idea if they stated where they are and their circumstances regarding gaining healthcare.

I live in Scotland Lanarkshire area and get NHS care from local hospital in East Kilbride who happen to have a very busy expert eye department.

I live only 15 miles from it and better still work only 5 mins from it which is great on injection day, as I go to work first.

I can honestly say the care I have received is excellent during injections and reviews 🙏
