[QUOTE="GraceK, post: 327424, member: 47233"] I'd only been low carbing for a month before I went for my retinopathy test and a regular eye test. Two years ago I was told the shape of my eyeballs had changed and now resembled rugby balls instead of footballs! Astigmatism was mentioned. At this post diabetes diagnosis visit he optician said I didn't need any distance specs at all and my reading specs were no longer suitable as my eyes had already improved. Can't remember what the numbers are. But as I've spent God knows how many hundreds of pounds on changing specs over the last 20 years as my eyes went up and down the scale from one week to the next, I started buying the cheapo reading glasses that you get in the local shops because my eyes changed so often it was getting financially unmanageable. I'd gone from 1.00 to 3.00 and back down again. I still wear the cheapo specs and they're absolutely fine for my reading/computer needs. [/QUOTE]
