Thanks for this, this is really interesting, and I bet emma hasn't done this researchI have type 2 diabetes and any damage she has wouldn't be fixed by the kind of laser eye surgery that means you no longer need glasses. I have to go for a diabetic eye screening once a year and they put drops in your eyes to dilate the pupils then take pictures of the retina. They're looking for damage to the retina and more blood vessels growing as I understand it. As I understand it, the kind of laser eye surgery she is talking about only changes the cornea which is the outside of your eye. If Emma does get as far as going for a consultation about laser eye surgery she might not be managing her diabetes well enough to be allowed to have it. The first stumbling block would be needing a letter from her GP saying how stable her blood sugar levels are.
