| Really Good Website about Retinopathy, etc. This is a website that I've found to be really good in explaining retinopathy and laser treatments. One of the things I saw that I really liked is that they acknowledge that the need for laser can be traumatic - not so much from the pain, but from the knowledge of the damage that diabetes is doing to your eyes. For me that has been SO TRUE. I had a lot of trouble adjusting to the idea that this was happening to me.
Anyway, check it out. It's a very informative and easy-to-read site. Diabetic Retinopathy home page
