The aim of this campaign is to help cover the medical costs of eye injections required due to damage caused by diabetes.

Thank you for any support you can offer!

Good evening, my name is E. I was diagnosed with alarmingly high blood sugar levels last September (500, with normal levels at 180), which resulted in slow but aggressive damage to my eyes.It’s likely that my eyes had been suffering damage for a long time without any symptoms, which only made the situation worse.

This battle began around this time last year. The support was heart-warming, and we successfully completed 12 injections. In October, unfortunately, I suffered a haemorrhage, which set the treatment back and caused me considerable difficulty, particularly with my right eye. Three months later, the haemorrhage subsided and we underwent laser treatment to cauterise 1,000 blood vessels in the right eye and 1,800 in the left eye to reduce therisk of further haemorrhage. Unfortunately, there has now been a relapse. I’ve been advised to have further injections, followed by another laser treatment

Fortunately, it is clear how effective the treatment has been so far, as despite the poor clinical condition of the interior of the eye at present, I am not experiencing any symptoms

I recently underwent a repeat laser treatment, which was successful (despite the procedure being painful and time-consuming)

The results of laser treatment become apparent after some time, and we usually see a build-up of new fluid, so further injections will be required in the near future

However, its long-term benefits are extremely helpful for the continuation of treatment

To date, there have been a total of four episodes of bleeding; one of these is an ongoing issue, and once the blood has been reabsorbed, laser treatment and injections will likely be required again

Thank you not only for your time but also for any form of support!

Solidarity is our weapon!

Comradely regards, E.
