Message: <blockquote data-quote="AndBreathe" data-source="post: 2566123" data-attributes="member: 88961">It is a huge leap from a first letter for background retinopathy to expecting imminent blindness.What does your results letter say about next steps?  Are you to expect a clinic letter, or are you to be reviewed after 6 or 12 months, for example?Your GP receives a copy of your results letter, only his gives a tiny bit more detail on what was reported.  My recent results were "no sign of diabetic eye disease", and my GPs letter looked like this.  The "Final Grade" scores are R0M0, meaning no retinopathic or maculopathic changes.  The grading goes from 0 to 4 and relates to the number of spots noted:[ATTACH=full]57926[/ATTACH]A few years ago I had a test showing a small change that was something like R1M0 and L0M0, but that cleared up spontaneously.Eyes can improve as well as worsen, so please don't panic.If your letter invites contact if you are concerned, then consider doing that.  I hope that helps in a small way.</blockquote>
