Message: <blockquote data-quote="Trishhh" data-source="post: 2664875" data-attributes="member: 583424">Hi everyone,My hubby is type 1 and had the first session of scattered laser to treat retinopathy. During his appointments he was told it was unlikely to prevent him from driving. Today, during the laser session, the doctor told him he's likely to go from having 120% peripheral vision to about 70%. With this kind of loss, I can't seem to believe he's going to keep his licence. He's really sad since he was told about the treatment and I'm scared it will take a toll on his mental health if his licence is revoked. The situation is also affecting my own mental health, as I've been struggling with difficult feelings for a few years now. I've been quite tearful on the last few days when on my own and don't really know what to say to make him feel less down.Please, can anyone share your experience, advice or anything that might help in any way?Thank you.</blockquote>
