Guest guest Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Hi to all! My name is Jane and I am a Type 1 diabetic of 22 years. I have had some minor vision issues for the past year and a half that had treatment and resolved or so I thought. I have retinopathy and very recently experienced a vision impairment in one eye. I have had various treatments on the eye and am waiting for things to " clear up " . I am hoping to find out about possible resources for my vision issue as well as just in general talk to other diabetics. (Maybe I can help someone else too!) Glad this group exists.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 HI, Jane, I remember when I first began having eye problems, back in 1985 or so. The treatment regime for diabetic retinopathy included laser treatments which hadn't been around all that long. However, the laser treatments failed to correct my retinopathy as it hadn't been caught early enough. I ended up having a total of 5 regular surgeries after this. I lost sight in one eye first, and there was hope the surgeries would save my other eye, but alas, that didn't happen. I've now been blind for about 24 years I guess. All this to say, I have to believe the treatment of diabetic retinopathy has gotten better in the last quarter century. Have you had trouble with detached retinas? Be careful not to strain, and if you notice a sudden loss of sight--a mass of blackness--it's time to get to the eye doctor as soon as possible! Welcome to the list, and chime in any time with any assistance you feel might be beneficial.
