Life Unscripted: Natalie and a DME doctor's appointment
Learn what a doctor's appointment looks like while living with DME.
Transcript
So it's been like almost two weeks since my eye laser appointment, and I just wanted to give a little bit of an update.
Going to the doctor for DME and how often depends on how my eyes are doing. If my eyes are doing well, I can see my eye doctor
every six months. But when my eyes are not doing well, like the last couple of months, I went to an eye doctor
every other week for about two months. The woman who was working on me who was assisting my retinal specialist
was so, so kind and wonderful and patient. And so it just takes time. The best thing you can do when you
go to a doctor's appointment for DME is to be very honest and clear what you're seeing. They're going to ask you what you notice in your eyes.
Tell them everything that you're noticing, even if you think it's small. It could be something important for them. [AUDIO LOGO]
