Hi,
I got diagnosed with diabetic retinopathy about 3 weeks ago and got told that I need two sessions of laser treatment in both eyes. I did my research on the laser and everyone I found said that it doesn't hurt so don't worry. I went to my first session last week and fainted halfway through the treatment on my right eye, it really hurt and I could feel cracking in my eye, i've now got to have half an eye at each appointment. I've got the next appointment tomorrow and I'm really worrying, is it meant to hurt? and has anyone had issues with the treatment?
