[QUOTE="phoenix, post: 242486, member: 12578"] I am so sorry that you have been through this experience without an explanation. Unfortunately one of the complications of diabetes can be damage caused to the eyes. This is called diabetic retinopathy. The most effective treatment of this is with laser surgery. It's important that any treatment is done as soon as it is needed. Rather than try to explain it in detail I'll give you a link to the diabetes UK website. If you read that page and the other ones under the title 'eyes' you'll gain a greater understanding. [url=http://www.diabetes.org.uk/Guide-to-diabetes/Complications/Retinopathy/Diabetes-and-how-it-causes-eye-problems/]http://www.diabetes.org.uk/Guide-to-dia ... -problems/[/url] There are many people who have had laser treatment and have no further problems but it will be important to keep your blood glucose and if necessary blood pressure under control . Perhaps that's where you might find some useful advice on this forum so do have a read around . [/QUOTE]
