Hi.... I am considering eye laser surgery to correct my shortsightedness (http://www.my2020.com/procedure.php) (-3.25 in both eyes); however, i'm type 1 diabetic. I would be greatful if anyone could let me know whether or not being diabetic could cause any additional complications with my eyes. Eye nerve damage and blindness is already a big deal when you're diabetic and i wouldn't want to have the surgery (http://www.my2020.com/procedure.php) to find that i end up with worse sight than before or going blind. Any comments would be appreciated. Thank you! :-*

As long as the diabetes is under control I have never heard that being a diabetic could cause any additional complications. I would be sure to check with my primary doctor before having the surgery done.
