Retinopathy: Its possible that they saw some signs in the back of the eye, specifically the retina, that indicated a systemic problem. Common things would include diabetes (high blood sugar) or hypertension (high blood pressure). A screening exam by a primary care doctor would be recommended. Good luck.
