[QUOTE="Boo1979, post: 1614685, member: 446715"] Ive been having eye screens for over 20 yearss - all bar the first one I ever had have come back as either clear or early signs of background retinopathy, requiring no action & they oscillate between the two. It seems that good sugar control can keep eye damage at bay and stave off Proliferative retinopathy which is the stage where small bleeds in the eye have led to the production of new (and relatively weak) capillaries that can rupture leading to further small bleeds and may need laser treatment to try and stop. Big bleeds are the most coomon cause of blindness as a diabetic complication As I see it, signs of early changes on a scan report are just a reminder to keep sugars and blood pressure under good control [/QUOTE]
