See a doctor: I can't tell from your question when this occurred, but I would recommend that you see a doctor. You may need stitches for your forehead cut.

: Unclear to me what you mean by "optic entities".  Sounds like he has retinal damage, which can occur unfortunately with diabetic retinopathy.
