Retinal Scans

Here are my scans from two days ago. The right eye (first photo) at seven o'clock has some "hard exudates" (looks like a cluster of small stars), but the eye doc said not to worry. He said that it is to be expected when you have had diabetes for over twenty years. Left eye looks great (second pic) No leakage and no new blood vessels. So I guess all good news. I will always worry.

I got a cd with all of my retinal scans from 2003. Pretty cool to be able to compare these.
