Message: <blockquote data-quote="suk" data-source="post: 2458074" data-attributes="member: 162716">Thank you for your kind thoughts.I have been issued with a driving licence following an eye test. Apparently driving is legal even with restricted vision in one eye.I only drive to places I know locally and during daylight.You are right, it is a case of getting used to the restricted sight and I have full vision in my right eye so it compensates.It’s just annoying that it could have been avoided if I’d had the first operation in time.I suppose after living with type 1 for 50 years I should be grateful that I don’t have more debilitating complications. It also annoys me that people automatically assume the eye problem is down to my diabetes. The bleed happened when I took a bad fall onto my head which subsequently resulted in the detached retina. Things happen and it’s a case of acceptance that nothing could be done to change it.Onwards and upwards</blockquote>
