Which are the best opticians? If they find a retinal tear during an eye test, what is their procedure? Do they inform you and refer you, or can they simply say nothing?
They certainly won't just say nothing - you'll most likely be told to either go immediately to a hospital with an Ophthalmology department as if it requires the general treatment that will require a Doctor and somewhere clinical rather than a general Opticians.
I'd be going if you think you have a tear as you don't want it to become detached - treatment can consist of lasers. Won't go into too much detail as don't want to fall afoul to medical rules.
Specsavers are able to refer directly to hospital. This happened to me after a mini stroke damaged one eye. It was a Sunday morning, i rang up and went to Specsavers and by mid day i was being seen in hospital by a consultant.
Mrs is making a blouse from a design I bought her at xmas last year. One of the harder designs she'd attempted made harder by the difficult material supposedly. So I've been providing lots of motivational observations and, when she gets annoyed, some time to talk things over..
Here's what it looks like (not my mrs) and not the same material:

If you suspect injury to your eye you should tell them, and aim to see an Ophthalmologist: they're the ones who're are fully medically trained. However, any optician should be able to spot that and refer you to someone suitable. If they notice something and didn't say something, I'm pretty sure that'd be professional misconduct.
