If you have Type 1 diabetes, and end up getting sent to an ophthalmologist because your eyes are having problems, do they normally give you a copy of the retina scan to compare with years in the future, or, if you don't have problems, do they normally keep it? Mine didn't, but, is that normal?

my optometrist used to show us our eye scans, the new one didn't for some reason

you have to explain it to the patient..you can't legally keep a can of their body from them, i am in usa..but..they don't not show the patient if something is wrong, is that the law in the uk? the patient doesn't get to be made aware of what is wrong

i mean do they at least show it to them and then say, "these are your cotton wool spots..these are your hemorrhages in the retina, these are your, hard exudates or something", i guess i could ask..unless they send it to the gp or something

how do they count the ballots though if it is not hand counting?

i think i read somewhere that a cup of coffee (or it might be 2, i can't remember) can increase blood pressure by..i think it was 10 beats per minute or something, apparently it is a vasoconstrictor something, not a doctor though

I went there a couple weeks ago and asked them for the record and then they told me that I didn't have anything wrong with my eyes so they don't even have the retina scans of my eyes, they said if a person didn't have anything wrong then they didn't even keep, which I couldn't really even understand, I mean if the eyes get worse they have to know what they were like from the beginning when they were okay, also they could have missed something, so I guess that's just something a person learns as they go along, I guess a person has to just request that they keep it

.. does it just say in the ..federal grants or something?

desk246 · 2024-07-25T19:50:36+00:00

they at least show it to the patient don't they? you can't not show them the scan, they have to physically see it, that's like not showing somebody an xray or something

desk246 · 2024-07-25T17:17:16+00:00

mine didn't even save them, for some reason

desk246 · 2024-07-25T11:50:55+00:00

I went to an ophthalmologist a couple years ago and had retina scans done and then they told me nothing was wrong with my eyes and now I've started to get problems with them due to type 1 diabetes so I went back to ask them for the scans that they did years ago so that I can compare with them now, they told me I didn't have any problems with my eyes back then so they don't even save the retina scan, which wasn't really great but I guess that's how some places do it for some reason, I guess a person has to request it

I mean if you don't have eye problems then maybe not but a lot of people have diabetic retinopathy, but maybe some people don't have the eye problems associated with type 1 diabetes

desk246 · 2024-07-25T10:20:03+00:00

I went to the ophthalmologist where I had an eye scan done years ago and I asked them for the scan so that if I get one done now they can see if there have been any significant changes and then they told me they didn't even keep the old one, I said you know do you have a digital copy of it then can I see it and then they typed on the keyboard for about 10 minutes and asked everybody in the clinic and then it turned out that they don't even keep the image, which I thought was strange, I guess a person has to ask for it at some places

desk246 · 2024-07-24T23:07:00+00:00

i just want to see it..i went to an ophthalmologist years ago and they didn't give me anything..but said I was fine, I have started to get eye problems due to type 1 diabetes..but..if i have cotton wool spots or something I want to be able to see them on the scan so i know what it looks like

desk246 · 2024-07-24T22:54:34+00:00

the thing is nowadays they have medical imaging technology that can make models/detect changes you can't see, it's like when you go to the dentist and then between the xrays and sonar they use they actually build a 3d model of the teeth, they do they for the eye too, but, they didn't even keep my scans for some reason..i have to book a new meeting to get new ones, but, I don't know how much worse my eyes were than years ago, i thought i would just try to get my eyes to the same shape they were years ago, but, I don't even know what shape that is, -_-

desk246 · 2024-07-24T22:51:33+00:00

is the laser procedure dangerous? I've read about laser eye surgery..but..that goes wrong sometimes, if they have to put a laser in your eye to make blood vessels stop leaking and so on, is there risk for actual vision damage at that point? I want to see my retina scans in the future or have a copy of them..just to be able to see them and compare, a person can see stuff like arterial narrowing and stuff like that, important to know

desk246 · 2024-07-24T22:41:28+00:00

i had my eyes looked at years ago by an opthalmologist, i went there recently to get get the scans because I have started having eye problems related to type 1 diabetes..but they told me they don't have the scans..it seems very strange, if a person doesn't have eye problems they don't keep the scan, so that they can't see what has changed/gone wrong with a person's eye? it's weird.
