Hi all. I’ve been a type one diabetic for nearly five years. I posed a few months ago about my year of terrible control, but since then I’ve been getting somewhat back on track. However, I’ve noticed a couple small eye floaters, and I’m absolutely terrified. I’ve been told by a friend that I’ll probably need immediate laser eye surgery, and I’ve never been more scared in my entire life. I guess what I’m looking for is opinions on whether or not I actually have retinopathy, or if it’s just normal floaters, or if I will actually need immediate treatment. What is retinopathy like and what is the treatment like? Any advice would be appreciated.
