I didn't have the slightest idea why I'm experiencing those at that time until I went to an eye doctor to have a consultation and found out that they were signs of diabetes. I was advised to watch my diet which made me go on a vegan/straight edge-type of lifestyle lowering my cholesterol and cutting off my smoking habit. It was not easy for me to adjust to a different lifestyle at the start, though, but the fact that the early signs of the diabetes were treated is rewarding. Thanks Dr. Kestenbaum for the links you've dropped here. I found it helpful. And I also stumbled upon this website of <a href="http://frechetteeye.com/about.html" rel="nofollow">optometrist Indianapolis IN</a>, that readers might find helpful as well.

We were just learning in school about neovascularization on the retina and how the eye releases VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) to lay down new blood vessels to replace the leaky ones. The only problem is that the new blood vessels are equally as leaky, so the problem never fixes itself! Patients must go see Doctors like you Dr. Kestenbaum. Great article!!!
