[QUOTE="Bluenosesol, post: 124519, member: 20149"] Hi Sharlieboo, when I was first diagnosed, I was sent for retinopathic eye photography. Just prior, I had become more aware than usual of the dark squidges drifiting across my field of vision and was convinced that I had retinal damage due to my diabetes. The photography revealed that my retinas were perfect and that at 53 I still had 20/20 vision. I was told everyone can see floaters and we also look through our eyelashes and see shadows caused by our noses being in our field of vision :lol: . The brain gets used to them and filters them out, such that we ignore them. However, diabetics become acutely aware of them (floaters) intially and hence for a very short time they become a problem. The eye tests are an essential part of your "stay well" program, but just as importantly, they will give you peace of mind. All the best - Steve. [/QUOTE]
