Hello
People here were so helpful last time, for which I was grateful, when I asked if it's possible to be eye screened without the use of drops as now extremely sensitive to light.
Following on from the screening, this was posssible and have pre poliferative retinopathy I go for the first time to the eye hospital tomorrow to see the consultant and learn more.
I've asked and they've noted that I would like not to have the drops and have to flag this up with the nurse. In anyone's experience, is this a possiblilty? Really very worried the drops will make the condition even worse.
The reason for the now rapid deterioration is due to an equally rapid lowering of HbA1c from very high down to 40. ( September test) I've since researched and found this happens I read that whilst eyes can continue to worsen for some time in the short term, when blood sugars are stable for a period of time, healing can take place and some have experienced a reversal of the retinopathy. Does anyone have experience or knowledge/links for this please?
Generally anxiety levels are now very high regarding the speed of deterioration in my eyes..
I'd be grateful for any information and support.on the above and any tips for when I'm with the consultant please.
Thank you
Sue
