Eyes and vision improvements

Question:

I’ve noticed that in the last 6 months my vision and night vision have improved dramatically … so with that in mind i’m off for an eye test to see how my vision quality is from an optician point of view and i’ve found that my eyes have actually improved. I now no longer need the same strength prescription in each eye and can get away with doing more without my glasses on. I’ll have some official figures on thursday afternoon but my optician says that from what he can see that there is a definite vision improvement. Has anyone else found this? I was expecting the night vision to improve, i was expecting focus speed to improve and also field of vision .. what i was not expecting was improvement in the actual quality of vision! Maybe it’s subjective … does anyone else have any experience of this?

Subjective or not – great news Patrick. I presume it’s related to lower and more stable BGs. Will you be seeing an ophtalmologist as well as the optician? Cheers, Alan, T2 d&e, Australia. Remove weight and carbs to email. — Everything in Moderation – Except Laughter.

Hi Alan, After my scare with last years issues, i’m not skimping on my eyes at all. The eye test i’m going for on thursday is the full monty one that checks everything, i’m making sure i see the eye photo crowd at the hospital every 6 months for at least the next 2 years until i am sure beyond reasonable doubt that there are no more issues lurking in the background. Glaucoma, jaundice, cateracts etc … i don’t want anything left unchecked and or untreated if needed!

Very wise. Good luck mate. Cheers, Alan, T2 d&e, Australia. Remove weight and carbs to email. — Everything in Moderation – Except Laughter.

Maybe it’s subjective … does anyone else have any experience of this? I’ve noticed a definite improvement. I shall never be able to go without glasses again, unless I don’t mind things being fuzzy, but I’ve noticed that even without glasses, things are clearer than they were. I’m hoping that this means I shan’t have to spend armzandlegz on new glasses every year from now on.

My eyes have improved considerably since dx – I had an eye test and retinal photos done and I was horrified how bad my eyesight was – I have never worn glasses, and my vision was always 20/20. The nurse explained it was probably due to osmotic changes in the eyeballs – higher glucose concentration in the body fluid causing fluid loss from the eye, leading to a change in shape of the eyeball. As my bg’s have come down, the eyesight has improved, but is still not as good as it was. I am going to arrange a visit to the opticians soon, but the nurse suggested not too soon, as my prescription could be fine one day, then out the next day until the situation had stabilised — Chris Quinn T2 Metformin 2000mg, Asprin 75mg dx March 04 HBA1c 7.5%, June 04

Maybe it’s subjective … does anyone else have any experience of this? It depends. Are you nearsighted or farsighted? As glucose levels rise, the refractive index of the clear bit of the eye rises. If you wear glasses to correct that nearsightedness, and those glasses were issued whilst your glucose levels were in a state of permanent elevation, then regaining control of glucose levels will cause the refractive index of the eye to decrease and so result in your glasses prescription requirement increasing in order to counter this. Your unaided vision would become worse. The converse applies with farsightedness with regard to the prescription for glasses. — John38 – now t1a!

I’m newly diagnosed. It was vision that got me to the doctor. I seem to find that my eyesight improves after eating – is that possible?/likely Normally farsighted. David

I’m told higher sugar levels can change how the eye refracts light .. how that translates into vision improvement or impairment isn’t something i’m aufait with. My official results are back in, about -.30 worse in each eye. That’s after 3 years of the same glasses and god knows how many years of crap control. New glasses on the way and there is a definite sharpening of image and focus even though the optician says it’s largely subjective. I can’t see "more" as such but what i do see is that little bit sharper in general and to me …. that feels great:) — Patrick / Fester Type 1 Diabetic. Dx’d 1993.
