[QUOTE="PenguinMum, post: 2080024, member: 461597"] I had retinal screening in June 18 (background retinopathy so nothing to worry about) a routine eye test and new glasses in Nov 18 and noticed bluriness with the new glasses over the next 6 weeks. I went to my Doctor who advised me to have another eye test to be on the safe side and it was discovered I had a real issue which got me an urgent referral to the hospital by the end of January 19. I have Branch retinal vein occlusion and if I hadnt had the second eye test in 2 months and had waited 6 months for my annual screening I would have lost more of my sight than I needed to. I am now on a course of Lucentis injections to save losing any more sight. That was my reason for strongly advising the OP to get an eye test just to rule out anything serious. I agree that someone new to Diabetes doing LCHF should delay getting new glasses while their levels settle but eye tests do pick up any other issues. I am glad I had two in 8 weeks. [/QUOTE]
