Greetings All,
I've had a problem with my vision since about 2 weeks after an operation (keyhole) to remove my gallbladder. I don't think it's diabetes related, however when checking my levels recently they were a bit higher than I expected so not so sure now. My last HB1ac (taken when I raised symptoms to my Dr) was 52 (should be <48), so not as good as my last test. Symptoms started with dry eyes, then eye pain around the orbits a week later building to headaches which didn't resolve with pain killers. The headaches resolved as did the orbit pain but was replaced by visual loss (darkening of vision/blotches in field of view). Again the vision improved - totally (I think) in my left eye but still some issues with right. Clinically yhere appears nowt wrng with my eyes and so I'm awaiting the results of an MRI scan and then repeat field of vision tests (which were awful last time!).

Regards...Chris

Do you get screened by the Diabetes Eye screening service?? They specifically screen you for any diabetes eye conditions, and if needed send you for further tests/treatment. With your symptoms I would go to an Eye specialist department at hospital, but it seems that you have if you are waiting for results of an MRI. Have you had any pictures taken of the back of the eye to eliminate Retinopathy or Macula oedema.

Hope everything goes well
