[QUOTE="the_anticarb, post: 426473, member: 16982"] A driving license revoke is my worst fear, well obviously full blindness is a lot worse but that doesn't seem as likely IYKWIM. Its possibly the only thing at the moment which I fear more than being a big fat ugly bloater, as the thought of not being able to drive is what actually makes me take my insulin each day. Every time they say I need laser I get scared my visual field will reduce, I already have some field damage from my vitrectomy where they tore my retina but it's only in one eye so doesn't affect the binocular field. I have a private consultant who assures me he can laser in such a way as to avoid the 'dvla window' but he charges around £1000 a time so I have to choose between spending a fortune or taking the risk with the field loss. I'm hoping that after this pregnancy the retinopathy will stop progressing and maybe I'll get away with just one more laser but I know better than to second guess this disease. Good luck to everyone with these problems [/QUOTE]
