Have we got Mrs Kent's notes?
Yes, they're here.
She's coming in today for possible laser surgery for her retinopathy, isn't she?
Well, depending on results...
and from the look of these pictures we took last time, there's been a slow improvement,
so we'll talk to her and perhaps hold off for the time being
unless her condition's worsened, 'cos it can in some cases.
So what's the cause?
Well, we know a leak of fluid behind the retina causes the distorted vision which sufferers get,
but not why that occurs.
There may be a link with stress, and also steroid use, but the jury's still out, I'm afraid.
