According to the Telegraph page linked in the DW article, "eye clinics were unable to keep pace with demand.... In four out of five cases, those affected had chronic conditions requiring long term follow up, meaning they are not covered by NHS targets." https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/06/06/hundreds-going-blind-year-amid-nhs-delays-research-shows/ https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/06/06/hundreds-going-b...
