Hi, welcome to our site. I am Dr Saumya Mittal.

Read your query. That is a very significant question and i appreciate your problem. I will try my best to answer your query

sounds like you may have diabetic retinopathy. it usually developes invariably in a long standing diabetic and/or uncontrolled diabetes

I would suggest meeting an ophthalmologist. the reason is that diabetic retinopathy has several stages and the treatment may vary according to the stage.

so an evaluation of retina is important before commenting if the procedure can be done or not.

I hope this helps you. Inform the reports mentioned above so i can be of help further. Best of luck.

I have given you the answer to the maximum considering the information provided. The results of the tests could further enhance my answer to you.

Please do understand that some details could be extracted from a detailed history and examination.
