I have been Diabetic for 19 years, and also suffer from Retinopathy. I see my eye doctor every six months, and at that time he decides whether I need more or not.

It depends a lot on how well your mother’s Diabetes is under control really. If she watches her diet, and keeps her blood sugars under good control, she may need it only once a year, or every two years for that matter.

I had my first session about 4 years ago, and think I have had 3 or four since. Hope that helps.

Cheers

In mild cases, treatment for diabetic retinopathy is not necessary. Regular eye exams are critical, though, to monitor any progression. Strict control of blood sugar and blood pressure levels can greatly reduce or prevent diabetic retinopathy.
In more advanced cases, treatment is recommended to stop the damage of diabetic retinopathy and prevent vision loss.
I add a link which discusses this subject.

Detached retina is a serious eye condition that almost always leads to blindness if not treated promptly. The retina is the light-sensitive tissue that lies smoothly against the inside back wall of the eye. Underneath the retina is the choroid, a thin layer of blood vessels that supplies oxygen and nutrients to the retina. Retinal detachment occurs when the retina separates from this underlying layer of blood vessels. Unless it is surgically reattached, permanent vision loss can result.

Posterior Vitreous Detachment (PVD) is a common condition which occurs in about 75 per cent of people over the age of 65. As people get older the vitreous, a jelly-like substance inside the eye changes. This can cause Posterior Vitreous Detachment. Many people are not aware that they have developed PVD but some notice symptoms such as floaters or flashing lights. Floaters can take many forms from little dots, circles, lines, to clouds or cobwebs. Sometimes people experience one large floater which can be distracting and make things difficult to read. Unfortunately at the moment nothing can be done medically for this condition, usually people find that the symptoms calm down after about six months and people do eventually get used to living with the floaters. The brain tends to adapt to the floaters and eventually is able to ignore them, so they then only become a problem in very bright light. However, as the subject is an employee, this is not likely to be related due to the normal occurrence in over 65’s.
In all cases when specific medical information is required, you would be advised to consult a doctor or ophthalmologist
