Dear Type 2 Diabetes Community,
Hope you are enjoying the Sunday.
I had two (2) photocoagulation laser treatment sessions for proliferative diabetic retinopathy. The floaters are still there in my left eye even after a month and unfortunately, the treatment was very uncomfortable, painful like applying lime drops to your eye, itchy after some time and I experience severe migraines which I did not have prior the treatments.
If you know or have experienced about this treatment, could you kindly let me know if these are natural effects please? Do you feel I really require laser treatment or shall I wait for the floaters to go away naturally?
Right now, my cholesterol, glucose and blood pressure are controlled after I went into strict diet and exercise. However, the left eye is still not seeing properly, blurred and unable to read. It has the cobweb floaters which I don't feel is improving at all.
Looking forward to any feedback please. I am anxious of the long term effects of the laser treatment.
Sincerely,
Elena
