I wish people "including myself" would take getting your eyes checked regularly for diabetic retinopathy

Just because you have perfect vision, doesn't mean you don't have diabetic retinopathy...

I have 20/15 vision, last September I found out if I hadn't gotten my eyes check for my drivers licence... I probably would have had some really bad vision loss.

I've had 8 injections in each eye of avastin. I've also had all the laser that can be done on my eyes.

The doctor said I'm in a good spot now and have a good chance of keeping. My vision.

I'm writing this because of the amount of people that don't take diabetic retinopathy seriously.
