Message: <blockquote data-quote="Helen40" data-source="post: 2401110" data-attributes="member: 531248"><p>I was diagnosed with prolific diabetic retinopathy in 2019, I had 2 lots of laser in each eye and have been getting eye I jections every 8 weeks since then, my swelling is gone and I gave a review in 2 weeks to decide whether I need more injections. I have black dots and squiggly lines in my eue and my consultant thinks a vitreoctamy may further benefit this to clear out the 'gunk' and remove the abnormal vessels that keep bleeding. Any more laser would affect my ability to drive. Please keep all your spots, so much can be done to slow or even halt further progression. Treatments today are pretty awesome too! I'm still scared for the future and frustrated when I struggle with computer screens and reading subtitles is pretty impossible but I'm grateful for the sight I have and know this is down to the excellent treatment and care I've received from my eye clinic. Keep in touch with us on updates!</p></blockquote><p></p>
