My husband got diagnosed with type 2 in late July and has his retina screening on Tuesday at his GP surgery. He got a call yesterday from outpatients at the hospital and they said that a specialist wants to see him sooner rather than later, which has obviously concerned us. He also got a letter in the post which repeated what they said on the phone regarding an appointment on Monday at the hospital. We are so worried, he’s only 27 and he mentioned the other day how he has noticed sensitivity to light and some pain in his left eye, he has also noticed seeing “stars”. We’re worried that they may have found something, it’s just a bit unfortunate that they’ve left him all weekend to worry about it, obviously that’s no ones fault, it’s just rather stressful. Has anyone has a similar letter/appointment and can tell me what happened? I know everyone’s different, we just don’t know what to expect and are thinking the worst!
