Not looking forward...

To my eye test this morning . I had my first about 6 months ago and they recalled me as there is some background retinopathy . The test , although uncomfortable with the drops , is not that bad but I am worried about the result

Just wanted to say I'm thinking about you this morning and hope the results are better than you are fearing. All good wishes,

I hope that everything goes smoothly for you. Please don't be worried about background retinopathy - I've had it for over 20 years and in that time it has continued to be background and not required any treatment

I have background retinopathy -- as long as it doesn't develop into full-blown retinopathy it's nothing to worry about. 🙂

Good luck for today!

Don't worry too much, Carol has background retinopathy. Her next appointment is still in a year's time after the last one.

I'm sure all will be well Ann. Your control will have been better over this past 6 months than the previous couple of years, so all should be well.🙂

Thanks everyone 🙂

I was told that I only had a very small spot last time and that it will probably have gone away.... We'll see . The test is nothing really so that was ok, just got to sit and wait for the results .

The thought of laser treatment really frightens me

Hope the results are good Ann 🙂

Hi Ann

Hopefully you won't need laser treatment - but if you do if you've had some basic painkillers before (e.g. paracetamol) it shouldn't hurt at all. I had some laser for maculopathy three months ago - there was no pain at all - and I'm an absolute wimp. As soon as the laser was finished I went straight to a boat show with my OH because I felt so well

Ann good luck
