    Im devastated!

    Ive been on disability for a month and a half due to losing my eyesight from diabetes.Luckily my Dr was able to get me back to 20/40 in my left eye and in my right eye 20/30.He also okayed me to return to work on Monday.This guy is one of the most acclaimed eye drs in the state of Michigan.So before I go back my employers insists that I go to the Ready Med and get a Department of Transportation physical,So Get examined by someone who kept having problems with the outdated eye tester macxhine,she kept saying that she was such a "******" which I thought was kinda unprofessional among other things,and AI was told by the Dr at the readymed that my vision was 20/70 and 20/50 so basically Im out of work.Im hoping something can be done as my dr is providing with proof of his tests but who knows.I dont know what Ill do,I love my job plus I just got married and we have a house to pay for.UGH!

          Man that sucks! Hopefully it will work out. Stick to your guns and perhaps get a third opinion on your side.

            I would concur in getting your doctor involved. Best of luck.

                Hope it all works out ok for you, I suffer from type 1 diabetes and it's only just started to affect my eyes.

                With this desease you do need the help of a good doctor and it seems like you have one.

                Best of luck.

                    Glad to hear things are working out better for you, Dr. I hate work bureaucracy and all the hoops they make you jump through. Glad to hear that you made it through this particular storm, though...!

                        Argh... I've been there (here still). The injections/laser are not fun. Happened to me back in October. Good luck!

                            Good luck with this. I've struggled with really bad eyesight all of my life (special training to even drive) and I know it can be frustrating, to say the least.
