Thank you for this explanation

very informative

[@loradurling2358]

I have had diabetic retinopathy since 2009. Blurry eyes, cannot read small print, cannot drive anymore, cannot write well. All this due to sugar in my blood vessels. Terrible. Sometimes cannot see features on other people unless they are very close to me.
