"Judith L. didn't know she had diabetes until signs of diabetic retinopathy were discovered at her annual eye exam. The ophthalmologist referred her back to her regular doctor for treatment of her diabetes and to a retina specialist for laser treatments for her macular edema, to help seal the leaking blood vessels. She's also begun intraocular steroid injections to improve the results. Judith no longer drives at night and has trouble reading, but says she's better off than her father who also had diabetic eye problems. 'I want the next generation to be even luckier,' she says."
