[QUOTE="MarkE, post: 493130, member: 38760"] Background retinopathy is not the dangerous type- you will need to reach "proliferative retinopathy" before you are in danger, and even then laser surgery is usually enough to arrest the problem. I'm one of the unlucky ones myself, having needed 9 sessions of surgery so far between both eyes- but I still have my central vision, I still work, and I still see well enough to take (though I say it myself) **** fine photographs. So, in short: don't worry too much- keep the control good, eat well, avoid stress as much as you can, and all should be well. [/QUOTE]
