Message: <blockquote data-quote="phoenix" data-source="post: 226925" data-attributes="member: 12578">A couple of days after I  was first diagnosed and put onto insulin I could look out of the window of my hospital room and see for ever. It was a strange and quite surrealistic experience. On the other hand I couldn't watch the small TV in my room as it was 'far too close' and blurred.High glucose levels increase  the osmotic pressure in your eye, fluid is drawn into the eye causing the shape of the lens to change. This can happen gradually so people adjust to the difference, or it may occur suddenly when vision can become very blurry.If levels are normalised , the fluid levels alter again and so does the lens. If this happens 'overnight' as happens with the start of insulin the lens can be altered in the  opposite direction causing far sightedness. This will normalise, some people report that it takes a while,  mine was back to normal within a couple of weeks (pity I thought I could get a new job as a marksman  :lol:  )</blockquote>
