<div id="X949" style="display: none;">I was diagnosed in 1971 with Type 1 in 1984-85, I had multiple laser surgery to treat retinopathy. In 2005 I noticed changes in vision; my retina specialist calls it a membrane or scar tissue on the retina, mostly in the right eye.</p>
<p>There is apparently a way to remove this, but at this point no one wants to do it; I get the impression that it is a somewhat risky surgery, and that it is best to wait until my vision is considerably worse. What can you tell me about the condition, the surgery and the risks?</p>
<p>FYI, I had a kidney/pancreas transplant in 2005 that was successful and I have normal blood sugars now with no need for insulin.</p>
