[QUOTE="Caesar, post: 1265126, member: 159607"] Hi [USER=317434]@Joah[/USER] Sorry for my late reply but I don't come on the forum that often any more. I've been using the mask for nearly 2 years now. I get a checkup every 3 months, when I get a mask replacement. This is included in the price you pay for the mask. They take photographs of my retina in both eyes and discuss the results straight ahead. I'm using the mask for preventive purposes. I don't have signs of retinopathy but I think it makes more sense preventing rather than treating it. We all know that it'll come at some point if we just wait, no matters our effort to keep BG on track or renounce everything we like in life. I took my decision and preferred spending this money until the NHS will hopefully cover it. What I can say for sure it's that I'm free from that horrible thought of getting blind one day! Other people have added their experiences with the mask in here: [URL]http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/noctura-sleep-mask-for-diabetic-retinopathy.75538/[/URL] If I'm correct, I've also seen a link to a facebook group related to this in some comments.
