[QUOTE="celala, post: 534676, member: 52585"] Hi I've just joined the forum and was very interested in your experiences of the vitrectomy procedure. I am a T1 on a insulin pump and have had diabetes for 30 years. I have been having lucentis injections for nearly a year now after several laser treatments since 2010. I saw My consultant last week who told me that I could possibly need to have a vitrectomy, cataract and vitreous peel surgery in my left eye, he told me that he couldn't guarantee that I wouldn't loose some vision, he gave me a couple of weeks to decide wether to go ahead or not! My question is How painful is the vitrectomy? Did anyone have a vitreous peel? Will Dvla except you for driving if you have had this sort of procedure? I've also heard that the procedure is done under local anaesthetic? I would be great full for any advice given thank you Sent from the [url=http://www.diabetes.co.uk/app/?utm_source=sig&utm_medium=txt&utm_campaign=appsig]Diabetes Forum App[/url] [/QUOTE]
