[QUOTE="MrsA2, post: 2315194, member: 521715"] Hi [USER=531353]@PDR T2[/USER] Although I'm recently diagnosed T2 I have had prior eye problems and surgery - not diabetes related. So I can empathise but am not quite the same. I can however say anything to do with eyes is incredibly slow. I am still on 2 sets if drops 5 years after surgery. If it was after a broken leg for example medication might only be needed for weeks or months. Like you, I was constantly checking and it was only with time that I gradually realised the improvements. I've had laser 3 times and can't remember how long it took to clear but can remember it wasn't instant. My blind spot is lower left and at first I was constantly checking it. Now I have to concentrate to find it ! I also found when I was diagnosed T2 and went low carb that my eyes went funny and blurry again for a few weeks. It was almost like I could see the sugar washing away. Again that did clear You have had 2 things in quick succession. I know nothing about PDR but I do know how worrying eyes can be and that constant squinting to see if its improved. I also now think if I get blurry eyes its linked to me eating sugar, but it does pass. Try not to stress or worry but do contact your eye doctor with any questions or concerns. Mine is incredibly patient and positive, they know how important sight is to us. I wish I could help more. [/QUOTE]
