[QUOTE="nmr1991, post: 330777, member: 35685"] For me, it's hard to see what I eat could be harmful to me in the long run which could in turn contribute to a more severe case of retinopathy. I missed an eye screening appointment but I will book another to make sure that my eyes are as healthy as can be. I think I have a minor case of damage to the retina since I went to my opticians and they concluded that my eye's are in perfect health in terms of seeing but not with damage - this obviously meant that the opticians can't see inside the retina for damaged blood vessels whereas diabetic eye screening can do that. I have an extremely dangerously (not exaggerating) low BMI of 12, and gaining weight is a serious matter but for me is as much a challenge equivalent to a really obese individual trying to lose 5 stone in a day so keeping in fit shape is really hard which I think is required to keep your eyes healthy as much as the rest of your system. Everyday I feel like death, but i'm hanging on. [/QUOTE]
