DIABETES SUCKS

Well,it seems i got a problem....started day after i went to a recent concert at the HOUSE OF BLUES.

The ADICTS were playing and it kicked ass !!!!

Anyways , I woke up the next day eith what is called a EYE FLOATER , went to the V.A. hospital to get checked (U.S.ARMY VET),and was told i have diabetes and tha i will need laser surgery to correct.

Please Read the following , Because this can be VERY common :

What are Floaters?
A floater is the term commonly used to describe small spots in your field of vision. Floaters cast shadows over the retina (the light-sensitive inner layer of the eye) and the retina in turn then sends visual signals to the brain, resulting in an image being seen.

PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH "FLOATERS"
Degenerative changes occur in the vitreous that shrink and may detach from the retina. This can cause a small amount of bleeding and is particularly common amongst people who are nearsighted or have had cataract surgery. Floaters that are caused by bleeding from an abnormal growth of blood vessels can lead to hemorrhages inside the eye. DIABETES

Abnormal blood vessel growth can also lead to scar tissue that tends to shrink and this shrinkage causes wrinkling, dragging, distortion, detachment or tearing of the retina.

Help for Floaters
If floaters persist and symptoms are worrying, it is advisable to have a thorough eye examination. Generally, if the number of floaters in the eye have increased or worsened, you should have it diagnosed and treated as quickly as possible. In most cases, floaters do not require treatment because eventually they do disappear.

When floaters appear in your line of vision, you should try to move your eye around or try looking up or down to move the floaters. There are no medications available to treat floaters. However, if floaters occur as a result of inflammatory eye disease, certain medications may be prescribed to treat the inflammation.

In more severe cases, surgery may be needed to remove floaters and prevent blindness. Surgical options include procedures such as vitrectomy and laser eye treatments like conventional LASIK are performed. Vitrectomy helps to remove scar tissue, clear blood and debris from the eye while LASIK corrects visual impairment.



My doctor explained this condition i have with ABNORMAL VESSEL GROWTH , and suggested laser surgery to correct.Even as i type it moves in and out of my field of vision.

It is very annoying.

Soon, I will be screened, but i am sure i will be diagnosed with diabetes.

How scary to hear "YOU HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED" !!!!

I mean you go through life and never expect to hear theses things,I know it's not the end of the world, but I never thought i would be in this new era of my life.
