[QUOTE="noblehead, post: 840720, member: 11028"] They can halt it and stop it getting worse by way of laser treatment which they have mentioned to you already, if you read the link that I posted earlier in the thread there's some good advice on maintaining bg, bp and cholesterol levels to help prevent retinopathy progressing and getting worse. I'm not sure what your bp is like but when my retinopathy was active I was put on a low dose bp med called Ramipril to keep my bp down...this despite my bp being normal. the Ophthalmologists and my gp both agreed that I should keep my levels below 130/70 to take the pressure off my eyes, I've been trouble free from retinopathy for the last 11 years although I still have to have regular check-ups, so try not to worry and take on board the advice that your Ophthalmologist will give you over the coming months. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
