Message: <blockquote data-quote="Yorksman" data-source="post: 424865" data-attributes="member: 55568">The opthalmologist who photographed my retinas explained that the images were sent to a national organisation who studies tem and sent out the letters. He said that I would get a letter saying that there had been some background changes and that I would need to be monitored next year. He said not to worry and he showed me the images. In one eye in one place there had been a bleed. He told me that, in his opinion, that was due to the period when I had high glucose levels but it was only ne spot and it was 'nothing'.True enough, I got the standard letter, 'there have been background changes'.The opthalmologist also pointed out a spot where an artery had slightly squashed a vein underneath. He said I must have had high blood pressure at some point, which was true. Anyway, he seemed to know his stuff and went out of his way to exlain what was going on with my eyes.</blockquote>
