[QUOTE="Hopeful34, post: 2265703, member: 378858"] Hi [COLOR=#ff0000][USER=524011]@chris2112[/USER][/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]. Welcome to the forum. I've had type 1 diabetes for 53 years, with no eye problems until a few years ago when I needed laser surgery for retinopathy, followed by more laser surgery 2 years later. I wanted anti VEGF injections instead of the laser surgery, but was refused it. Do you know of any papers that have been written that I could show to the Opthalmologist if I should ever need any more treatment. (Thankfully my eyes have been stable on my last few visits). Also, I recognise the importance of regular screening, but my appointments are always months overdue, and despite chasing them up, and making complaints, I always just get told there is a shortage of Opthalmologists in our area. A long shot I know, but do you have any ideas of what else I could do, as I get really anxious when appointments are 10 months overdue and then the Consultant tells me off for not seeing him sooner.
