Message: <blockquote data-quote="JamieD110" data-source="post: 1308757" data-attributes="member: 354262">Hello. For anyone having diabetic retinopathy, I have a question for you. I've got mild, non-prolific retinopathy, and have had it for about 3 years.My ophthalmologist says I have some intra-retinal spots where blood has leaked out. I see black spots whe I blink, and then the almost disappear, until I blink again. They are tiny and I am keeping my blood susar levels down, but in these areas, I get a grayish area that stays, and "blanks out" my vision, completely, where it is, but they are not that disruptive unless you are looking at something and then you shift your eyes and that "something" disappears! Does anyone else see these things? My retinal specialist said they should come and go, change shape, etc. with time, but they aren't. I'm just wondering if they are permanent. He gave kind of a vaque answer like "they could get better", "watch you blood pressure and blood sugar so you don't get more of them", etc.I am wondering if they will ever go away. I've had them about 3 years, and there is no change, good or bad, in them.eyes and it disappears! Weirdly enough, in the dark or when I close my eyes, I see little flickering white waves only in these blind spots. I am wondering what the heck that is... migraine auras (I get them a lot), visual snow, etc. Does anyone get THIS symptom with their retinopathy?Thank you.</blockquote>
