Yes I've had diabetic retinopathy and had laser treatment and a victrectomy, it's about 8 or 9 years since I last had any problems or treatment and my vision is good enough to be issued with a 3 year licence.

Are you experiencing problems lianne?

Is astigmatism caused by diabetes? Didn't know that, have been astigmatic since my teens and it seems to be stable, more or less. Oh well, will see what the eye doc says about the current state when I see him, things have probably changed.

There has been members in the past who have had lucentis injections administered to the eyes, perhaps if you type 'lucentis injections' in the forum search facility you may find them.
