[QUOTE="Geordie_P, post: 2316166, member: 343949"] Sorry PDR2, you meant to reply to gwai84 at the top of the thread. Still, I actually know a little about your question because my father, also diabetic, had fairly extensive and recurrent retinopathy with eye-bleeds. His vision was gone in one eye and poor in the other, but a programme of laser treatment got him back to his normal level of vision. The repair and recovery took some time, but nothing excessive, given the circumstances, and he said the treatment itself wasn't particularly grueling. Different people will obviously have different experiences, but from what I have seen, the treatment can be effective and the recovery doesn't need to be too arduous. I'd certainly encourage you to keep your spirit up and talk to the relevant medical professionals if you can. There's quite a lot that can be done with regards to helping this condition. Good luck!
