A member asked:
I have got diabetic macula edema in both eyes, but they dont require treatment yet as my vision is so good. should i just face facts that i am likely to go blind in the future? is it likely?

Macular edema is not rare in diabetics and does not necessarily eventuate in inevitable blindness if you work closely with your endocrinologist and ophthalmologist and tightly control your diabetes. Things should remain stable indefinitely.
