Are you diabetic? If so bring your record of recent blood sugars on your glucometer.
Do you wear glasses? then bring your glasses/contact lenses as well as your most recent prescription from your optician.
Do you contact lenses? then bring a container to place them in during the eye test as your eyes need to be tested with and without corrective lenses (nb. it may be easier to wear your glasses).
