Good evening all,
I have been diabetic 20 years now, sas diagnosed when i was 10 years old and never really took it serious enough.
Ive been having very slight blurry vision when i first wake up, although it passes a min or so later, apart from that my eye sight seems normal.
I had an NHS Eye Screening the other day and have found out i have stage 3 diabetic retinopathy, although my own doing, it is terrifying me and made me focus a hell of a lot more on my blood levels, even if too late for the damage ive done, least i can save it for the future.
Im awaiting an appointment with an eye specialist to talk treatments. Can anyone put my mind at rest about the experience of laser eye and the injections in the eyes. The idea of seeing that all happen, fills me with fear
