Eye Exam :(
Had my eyes dialated today, and after 46 years of diabetes, he said I had a tiny tiny dot in my right eye, I think he said aneurysm. He gave me a report to give to endo and it states diabetic retinopathy right eye. He stated nothing needs to be done, and not to worry and it could even go away. He said pretty good after 46 years, isn't that like saying an A1C of 7 is pretty good because your a diabetic. I asked if I should come back sooner than 1 year he said nope, and he truly sounded not worried, but.............I AM WORRIED.

I had a tiny, tiny tangled dot of blood vessels, almost imperceptible to the doctor and not at all to me; last year.august 2011. He is My opthamologist of 28 years, and said not to worry about it. I did not. It was gone this year. He says he does not see anything at all diabetes related in my eyes. I am thankful. Hope things go well for you, Karen.
God bless,
Brunetta
