The picture in my avatar was taken 5 years ago. The reading glasses around my neck are still the only form of visual aid I use, even now. Yet I had both eyes lasered several times between 1979 and 1983. I was worried sick by a letter I received from the screening service in October 2012 referring me to Addenbrooke's Hospital Cambridge. The head Ophthalmologist said that what they had "discovered" was simply old scarring from years before.As I am sure you are aware, worrying and stress can lead to raised blood sugar readings, which in turn do not keep your regime in an ideal state for protecting against retinopathy. Try not to worry (easily said), since so often these things are a false alarm. The very best of luck!</blockquote>
