[QUOTE="TeddyTottie, post: 2220799, member: 519030"] I can completely relate to the vision issues - terribly blurred vision was one of the symptoms (along with thirst) which sent me trotting off for diagnosis in December. I went from middle-aged long sight to being pretty short-sighted overnight. None of my specs worked for me, and since my distance vision was badly affected, I wasn’t safe (or legal) to drive and I couldn’t just get specs because everything changed on a daily basis. Fortunately my employers were understanding and I was able to work from home for a couple of weeks until things recovered a bit. I read on here that it was temporary, but OMG it was very tiresome for probably around 6 weeks. I had constant eyestrain from working on computers without quite the right specs, and I got very fed up of walking around with the world as a blur. However everything has indeed returned to my normal, my current specs work fine again and distance vision has returned. But this little taste of ‘impaired’ sight and the loss of independence it caused was a real lesson learnt about getting a grip on this T2, and doing everything I can to prevent complications. I like being able to see! [/QUOTE]
