[QUOTE="Dark Horse, post: 2342260, member: 52527"] I'm afraid that I don't recognise your description of what was found at you hospital examination - I think something may have got lost in translation. It sounds to me like the screening service suspected new vessel growth which wasn't seen at your hospital examination but the ophthalmologist wants to be sure so has recommended a Fundus Fluorescein Angiography (FFA) which is explained here:- [URL]https://www.guysandstthomas.nhs.uk/resources/patient-information/eye/fundus-fluorescein.pdf[/URL] If the FFA shows no new vessels, you would likely be monitored and advised to main good control of diabetes and blood pressure in order to reduce the risk of further progression.
