Looking for help
I have a friend who is on a very tight budget but his wife is having some serious eye problems. If anyone out there knows an ophthalmologist who they can ask for casual advice (or better an ophthalmologist who has a free clinic in the WI area) please share.
Symptoms: Blue sclera and Hazed vision both with varying degrees of severity.
Preexisting conditions: Type I Diabetes; legal/partial blindness in 1 eye; bipolar disease (the meds play with blood sugar).
Eliminated conditions (via ER, optometrist): brittle bone, Ehler’s Danlos syndrome, pseudoxanthoma elasticum, Marfan’s syndrome, excess silver (silver nitrate)
The prevailing theory seems to be diabetic retinopathy but my friend is on a waiting list that seems to be about 2 months out. If anyone can help, that would be very helpful.
