You're not allowed to keep secrets here, eh!

BTW I've had proliferative retinopathy since '94. I've had well over 3,000 laser blasts in about 15 sessions. I've had one hemmorhage, three minor bleeders, one edema, and a vitrectomy. And by some miracle called a low A1C my vision is still 20/20 and there's no signs of retinopathy anymore. My hemm happened when I dropped my A1C from 7.3% to 6.4% in three months. Coincidence I was told.


My vision is alittle more blurry. My eye doctor said there wasn't that much swelling going on when I told him this. I was diagnosed with it back in the beggining of March. The vision is my right is pretty bad. I've had 2 laser treatments on my right eye and one on my left so far. I'll probably have to have surgery on my right eye because the blood vessels and scar tissue are pulling on my retna and causing it to bleed. I still have more time to wait to see how the laser treatments are affecting my eyes. So far so good. I also had an injection in my right eye too. Time will tell I guess. So all and all my vision isn't to good. I'm just greatful I still have it.

That's great that there is no more signs of retinopathy.
