Well it's been one month since my last laser treatment and I had my follow up today. My right eye which is the one that is behaving is great. My left eye is still being a pain. It's still bleeding but the doc said it should stop soon so we need to just sit and wait it out. Encouraging and discouraging all in one. Only time will tell. please excuse my typing due to the drops I still can't see well.:D

My left eye continues to be a punk! I had another bad bleed so it's all muddy again. Hope if I take it easy it will clear up in a couple of weeks.

Going back in on Monday to see my retina doc :mad: I can see clearly out of the corner of my eye but straight on is a muddy mess. I still wake up every morning seeing pretty clear and then it all gets mixed up. I just figured out why I like to sleep so much now, in my dreams I see clearly. I hate this crud :(

Well I was told yesterday that I'm legaly blind in my left eye. My doc wants to wait another 4 weeks to see if it clears on it's own but if it doesn't I go in for surgery. Happy holidays to me...Sorry guys I'm just a bit bitter at the moment.

How long have you been diabetic? I truly wish things would improve for you. I feel for you peej. I hate diabetes so much. My eyes are bad too......

Let us know if you do go. They rushed me through so quickly I hardly had time to post here. Hopefully it does clear ok, but if it doesn't, be assured the success rates are quite high, and it's not that bad an experience.

I was wondering about the success rate, that's good to know.
