Hi,
I'm Type 2, since May 2014, and for the last 6 weeks or so I've noticed a slightly hazy vision in my right eye. It hasn't got any worse or better.
At first I didn't think much of it; thought it may be dry eye, since my eye does feel relatively dry, especially when I'm tired. I've got some fake tears that refresh my eye but certainly doesn't alleviate the cloudiness.
I continued wearing my lenses (I know...) but binned them eventually to give my eyes a rest. The haziness does not go away when I'm wearing my glasses. My eye is a tiny bit red but doesn't look any different to my 'ok' eye
It's not blurry vision- I know what that feels like. It's as if there is a 'romantic' filter on my eye. There are no other symptoms: no pain, weeping, headaches, spots, floaters etc.
I've been to the doc and I have been given an appointment with the ophthalmologist on the 16th of August.
I did have my screening last month and it showed, as last year, some background retinopathy and a 'come back in 12 months'. I did have my symptoms at the time and thought it might have picked something up...
I'm worried sick and also wonder whether I'm dicing with my eyesight waiting that long for an appointment.
My question is: has anybody else ever experienced this?
Thanks in advance!
