[QUOTE="Geordie_P, post: 1520184, member: 343949"] Yes, my Dad (also diabetic) got his eyes lasered for some quite severe retinal bleeding, and they sealed him up brilliantly, and the operation was a lot easier and less stressful than he thought. He hates operations and especially hospitals with a violent phobia, but he was so full of praise for the doctors, staff and treatmentIn his case, it turned out the bleeding was related to another medical issue, but where it might be relevant in your case is that the retinopathy treatment itself is fast, efficient and really good at arresting damage. I don't know what treatment you may need, but like Mike says above, great strides have been made- certainly in the UK, the treatment seems to be absolute top notch. Good luck with it! [/QUOTE]
