You are going to get different opinions as not even professionals all think the same - Jeff Sampson is the KC Genetics Advisor but he's not an opthalmologist and I would guess if the same questions were asked of one of the KC/BVA eye panellists, somewhat different answers might be given. The KC do have to be more consistent though - they can't give out informal advice that eye testing every 2 years is ok if they don't apply this to their own flagship Accredited Breeder Scheme which states "Eye testing – should be done under the KC/BVA/ISDS Eye Scheme or the KC/AHT Scheme or the ECVO Scheme. (Eye examinations should be repeated annually and should be within 18 months of the date of registration of a litter)."
