[QUOTE="FantomPoet, post: 1806128, member: 47839"] Hi [URL='https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/proliferative-retinopathy-lots-of-vitreous-haemorrhages.150591/members/runningwitht1.476056/']runningwitht1[/URL], Although my eye issues are not exactly the same I feel for you. I have been going to the eye hospital on and off for 5 years now which thankfully seen a steady improvement with each visit. The surgeons now have many tools to their arsenal to fight these issues. I currently have a Diabetic Macular Oedema which has improved considerably through having some eyelet injections, as a side issue of this medication the (Very mild) retinopathy I had has cleared up completely apparently. You are in the best position, in the fact that you now have professionals looking after you and treating you. It does feel time heavy in relation to time off work but on the balance of what could happen if I ignore it then I do not have an issue taking the time. You know when you've been going a while as you start joking with the staff whilst everyone around you is sat like Rabbits in the headlights. It works, keep positive and you will indeed see that improvement step by step. I appreciate it is a scary time and to be honest being told I needed to go to the eye hospital after a routine eye exam was more terrifying than my diagnosis. Keep faith, it can get better. An edit.....I forgot to mention that I am typing this as I slob on the settee after coming back from a 35 mile cycle. [/QUOTE]
