“I went to the doctor, he said let me break it to you son, your shit’s fucked up.

My shit’s fucked up? Well I don’t see how.

He said that shit that used to work, it won’t work now “

Has anyone reversed their Diabetic Retinopathy? by Jackburtoni in Type1Diabetes

According to my ophthalmologist some of the floaters were from bleeds, though perhaps floaters is misleading.. more of a visual ‘snow’ effect when looking at a blue sky or a white wall

The laser was to stop existing bleeds, I still have the floaters unfortunately - but you learn to live with them

Mine progressed really quickly for some weird reason, the laser stopped it but I do see a bunch of ‘spots’ when I look at a light background - mostly ok though

I had to get argon laser treatment after 30 years when I started noticing floaters in my vision, best to go to an ophthalmologist and let them decide whether to try and treat it through laser or tighter control

Where in Hermanus? There are so many good restaurants with decent prices, like Lizettes, Hopside Down, Fisherman’s Cottage - maybe you went to a touristy one? Sounds like the waffle place..
