My father has been diagnosed with Type II Diabetes, about 10 years ago and has been on insulin for the last 2-3 years. All his eye check-ups were clean.
Today we went to another ophthalmologist. He stated he had operated 27000 people and examined even more, and he had never seen a diabetic that has suffered the disease for this long and had no eye injury. All through the rest of his speech, he implied that having diabetes without eye problems is impossible.
Has anyone ever experienced something similiar, or if you’re a physician, do you have any opinions on the subject?
Thanks in advance
