[QUOTE="Dark Horse, post: 1829573, member: 52527"] The first appointment in the hospital for a 'normal' urgent referral for diabetic retinopathy should be within 6 weeks of the eye test. Although this may seem like a long time when you're anxious, the vitreous haemorrhages may need to settle before treatment is given. In the meantime, avoid strenuous exercise, anything which increases blood pressure (such as heavy lifting) and sleep propped up with extra pillows so the haemorrhages can settle towards the bottom of the eye.
