Hi. I've recently started with proliferative diabetic retinopathy. I've had a large haemorrhage in my left eye on July 7th which is being watched to see if the blood drains away of its own accord
On Aug 11th my right eye started to bleed and I've had some laser on that. Now I'm waiting til the end of Sept for follow up on both eyes.
I know that the laser could cause a couple of extra bleeds following the treatment and I was asked to rest. But it's now been 2 weeks since the laser on my right eye and I'm still getting bleeds on that
And now my left eye has just had another bleed which seems to be getting bigger.
My question is, is this normal? To still be having bleeds 2 weeks following laser treatment? Do I just need to keep waiting and trust that this is right or is it getting worse?
I've taken a lot of time of work as my vision was so affected and I was asked to rest but not sure how long this is going to go on for?
Any help muchly appreciated
I should add I'm 34. Been type 1 for 21 years
