  I go every six weeks to get Eylea injections in both eyes. Been doing this for a long time. I'm fortunate that Medicare and my Federal BCBS insurance covers all. No Copays

  I responded 0, but that’s a bit misleading. I had 2 comprehensive Evaluations in 2021: one about 3 months before my initial T1D diagnosis (I knew something was up with my vision) and then again right after diagnosis when I suddenly had perfect 20/20 vision after wearing glasses for more than 40 year (if only my eyes would have stayed perfect). My next appointment is in early January 2023, so I just missed having one in 2022.

  Since 2015 about every 4 weeks at retinal specialist. Shots for Wet Macular Degeneration. So, a lot. And they are helping.

  I had a Macular Pucker due to scar tissue formed after a retinal tear, not diabetes related. Surgery in November to repair the macula.

  I go every 6 months, so twice a year; unless a problem arises.

  I've previously had extensive PRP in both eyes. They have been stable since the early 1990's.

  I had a comprehensive "regular" eye exam with my doctor who does the vision acuity, cataracts (no surgery yet), and glaucoma. She has the most amazing equipment and can take pictures of my eyes in great detail. Then, I had 3 with my retina guy who takes care of my retinopathy. He is an amazing doctor. I'm glad I have both doctors!! :D

  Once, for an annual exam with a retina specialist I've been seeing for over a decade. I was dx with diabetic retinopathy in 1982.

  Priorities have been shifted since covid began, and then dealing with my 100 year old father this past year. I hope to return to my typical rotation of check-ups soon.

  Annual eye exams are critical. When I had my exam 3 1/2 years ago the ophthalmologist told me my optic nerve was swollen and had me get an MRI that day. I had a brain tumor that was larger than a tennis ball. It turned out to be benign, thank the Lord. I hadn't had any symptoms, headache, vertigo, etc. That ophthalmologist is our favorite doctor, she saved my life.

  Kaiser allows one comprehensive exam a year, as long as no problems. So far, eyes good, no retinopathy.

  I answered one (1), but actually went twice. I had blood on the outside of my eyeball, and went the extra time. No damage from the blood. Usually, I go once a year.

  I have seen the ophthalmologist 4 times this year. I have the onset of Glaucoma the Dr. has been watching. So each time I go I get a dilated exam and anual retnal pictures. I went last week and he showed me the start of cateracts.

  Once/year is all I need at this time, no retinopathy. I always use an ophthalmologist for the dilation and retinal exam.
