Hey first time doing this but just want to ask I’ve had retinopathy and had it treated in 2013, see my specialist regularly but have just noticed around where I’ve had the laser and all that done it’s almost as if my vision is fuzzy! Been to opticians they say no new diabetic eye disease or anything else, just wondering has anyone else ever experienced this? Or is it just me?
 
No, never needed treatment - BUT how long ago was your last retinopathy screening, and what did they say? You can actually ring em and talk to them, without referral from anyone, cos they have the records of your past screens and have a panel of opthalmologists (they that check the photos and interpret those results before we get them) hence ought to be able to advise you.

Changes in blood glucose level can cause your vision to be fuzzy, either a sudden increase or decrease. Could anything be going on there.

Hi AndSco23, welcome to the forum.

I agree that a chat with your specialist is the best way forward. It's worth them doing another check to properly investigate any changes and any potential treatments that may be needed.
