Jeez! Well, I figure they can be all that worried about it if you have to
wait at least 2 months for the follow-up appt!

Do you have to wait until June for the results as well, or will
they call you?

That's fascinating that they can get that much information.
Here's a link that shows a normal retina and various pathologies:

If there's anything needing urgent treatment they would probably
contact me and bring the appointment forward. Some Consultants will
write to a patient regarding test results and some prefer to discuss
the results in person with the patient...I don't know what this Dr's
preferences are yet.

It's a routine follow-up appt made before I had the scan, if there's
anything to be concerned about I'm sure they will contact me before
then.
