Erica: Perhaps you should call the specialist who did your laser surgery before. It may be that if you explain that you are having eye hemorrhages that he will help you and let you pay a little at a time on the bill. Do not do nothing at all. Is there a free clinic in your town? If so, go there, and they will hopefully refer you to a doctor to treat this. Try using Vitamin A from Walmart, 8000 IU, Spring Valley Brand. I have had diabetes for 35 years, and am very concerned for you. Do not pick up anything heavy, this can aggravate your eye problems. Check on the Free Clinic ASAP, Good luck to you, I care.
