Good control 50 years etc!
2k laser both sides and all stable apparaently, last review 2 months back now.
But today now noticing my second micro bleed, not major but I know what it is (last one was 8 years ago)
Perimeter of vision (that bit of cobwebby blood floating around).
I think it should just go away in a few days.
What do I do, should I get it seen, etc, hols now for a few days?

Fortunately my a&e have an eye emergency dept who are open 9-2 on weekends and bank hols.
Examination revealed a small vitreous detachment had caused the bleed, completely non retinopathy related I was told.
Just one of those things that can happen when you get older.
Will take 7-10 days for the floaters to clear up.
All my retinopathy and lasered areas were checked whilst I was there and all stable and inactive.
Glad I got it checked out, the opthamologist was extremelyy helpful, not bad for a Sunday morning at your a&e!
