I have an eye screening this morning.

I have to go to the hospital this morning for an eye screening because of my recently diagnosed diabetes. I cant say im looking forward to it, i hate my eyes being messed with!!
Ive had to take ( yet another) day off work. Im told my pupils will be dialated for hours afterwards and expect my eyes to be super sensitive for much of the day.
So, sunglasses at the ready.....

I have diabetic retinopathy and get injections in my eyes every 6 weeks. Don't stress the eye exam or the going blind scare tactic. Of course you want to control sugars as best you can. But the body can stop processing or creating insulin. Even a dilated eye exam is really nothing. Dilated by eye drops. Don't worry yourself into a frenzy.
