[QUOTE="Flowerpot, post: 852073, member: 47217"] I've had retinal bleeds from proliferative retinopathy and I also have floaters. The two things appear very differently in my vision looking outwards.. The retinal bleeds- pre having 2 vitrectomies - bled into my vitreous jelly and took weeks to fade away first as large dark irregular swirls of blood gradually fading to lighter brown areas. They obscured a lot of my vision and didn't move due to being trapped in the jelly. Since having vitrectomies, the floaters I've still got are highly mobile as they are now in saline solution which replaces the eyeball jelly. Sometimes they settle out of vision but if I sneeze or move my head quickly they zoom around in the saline liquid. I've been told the floaters aren't related to diabetes although I'm not so sure myself. I agree that clinics are sometimes fixated with their speciality and don't take a holistic view which for us as the patient can be very frustrating and worrying when issues are dismissed. I hope your vitrectomy surgery goes well tomorrow and removes the floaters from your vision. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
